| Reverse description | An eight-armed radiate cross — sometimes described as a wheel cross or sun cross — occupies the central field, its arms tapering outward from a central boss and radiating to the inner edge of the legend circle, creating a striking geometric composition typical of Kreuzer coinage of the period. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads ᛭ DEVS • SPES • NO • ES, an abbreviated devotional invocation meaning 'Deus Spes Nostra Es' ('God, Thou art our hope'), separated by pellet stops. |
