| Reverse description | A winged angel in armour, sword in one hand and a cross in the other, advances over fallen figures representing slaughtered Huguenots, with additional figures fleeing or collapsing in the right field. The scene commemorates the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572. The circular legend runs along the upper rim, separated from the field by a rope-twist border. |
