| Reverse description | Victoria, a winged figure personifying victory, stands triumphant above a kneeling female figure representing Bohemia/Austria, who submits amid a scattered heap of captured weapons, cannon, and military trophies. Lightning bolts radiate from Victoria's raised right hand toward the left field. To the right, a large shield and a trophy of arms are depicted in high relief. A three-line Latin inscription in the exergue records the defeat of the Austrian army near Prague on 6 May 1757, with the circular legend continuing in the upper field. |
