| Reverse description | Central field features an upright sword, point uppermost, set within a plain inner circle enclosed by a beaded border; the sword hilt is prominently rendered in relief. Between the inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border, a ring of Gothic trefoil or lozenge ornaments alternates with pointed decorative elements, creating a richly patterned intermediate zone. The circumferential Latin legend, broken by separating pellets and rosette stops, reads BNDICTV SIT NOME DNI NRI IhV XPC GROSVS NANCEI — Blessed be the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Groschen of Nancy — running around the outer field in the characteristic devotional formula of medieval Lorraine grossi. |
