| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Andrew the Apostle, nimbate, depicted standing with his characteristic saltire cross held upright in his right hand and a closed book or bible cradled in his left arm. The saint is rendered in the late Gothic tradition characteristic of Burgundian-influenced Low Countries coinage. The date 1568 is divided and incorporated into the surrounding Latin legend, which reads DOMINVS MIHI ADIVTOR, meaning 'the Lord is my helper', a Psalm-derived motto. The composition is enclosed within a beaded circle, with the legend distributed along the coin's periphery. |
