| Reverse description | Two hands emerging from clouds at left and right clasp together at center, jointly holding a caduceus topped with a radiant sun above, flanked by olive branches. Below the handshake scene, a five-line Latin inscription records the commemoration of the Peace of Westphalia signed at Münster on 24 October 1648. The outer legend around the border reads of peace, concord, and the felicity of the times for kings and emperors. |
