| Reverse description | A small pattée cross occupies the center of the field, surrounded by two concentric legends separated by three pearled circles. The inner legend identifies the mint authority of Luxembourg, while the outer legend bears the Christus Vincit invocation in Latin uncial characters, a formula commonly employed on medieval European coinage to assert divine sovereignty. The overall design reflects the liturgical and political ideology prevalent in 14th-century Holy Roman Empire coinage. |
