Reverse description A full-length frontal figure of Saint Nicolas is depicted in episcopal vestments, his body turned slightly to the left. He holds a crozier in his left hand and raises his right hand in the gesture of benediction. In the lower left of the field, three children are shown emerging from a vat, referencing the miracle of Saint Nicolas and serving as an iconographic identifier of the saint. The composition follows the devotional tradition of patron saint imagery prevalent on late medieval Lotharingian coinage, with the legend encircling the figure in Gothic Latin script.
