Reverse description Neptune, crowned and nude, rides a sea monster amid turbulent waves in the foreground, holding a trident; a port cityscape with ships appears on the horizon to the left. The Hebrew divine name (Tetragrammaton) appears in clouds above, and the date 1594 is inscribed at the bottom. The circular Latin legend reads REGNA SIDERA DEXTRO NEPTUNO FELICIA, meaning 'May Neptune's kingdoms prosper under fortunate stars.'
