| Reverse description | Central field bearing a crowned heraldic shield surmounted by a royal crown, the escutcheon divided into quarters displaying the arms of the Principality of Phalsbourg and Lixheim, with a sword and fleur-de-lis motif prominently featured. The shield is flanked by decorative elements consistent with the provincial heraldic style of early 17th-century Lorraine coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, reading MONETA NOVA LIXHE CVSA, denoting this as a new coin struck at Lixheim. The strike is characteristically uneven, reflecting the hammered production technique on an irregular billon flan. The reverse design conforms to the standard heraldic typology of small-denomination princely coinage of the period. |
