| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-length standing figure of Saint Andrew, the patron saint, draped in long robes and nimbed with a halo, centrally positioned within the field. The saint holds his attribute, the saltire cross (X-shaped cross), which extends diagonally across the figure and dominates the composition. The figure is rendered in the Gothic hammered style with linear drapery folds. An inner beaded border frames the central type, with the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial letters reading ✠SANCTVS⁑ ANDREAS, identifying the saint. The overall design closely follows the Rhenish florin tradition adapted for the Luxembourg mint. |
