| Reverse description | Central oval shield bearing the arms of the city of Elbing — two crosses patée arranged vertically — enclosed within an ornate cartouche with elaborate scrollwork and foliate mantling surrounding the escutcheon. The circular legend MONETA:NOVA:ACTA:CIVIT:ELBINGENSIS, meaning 'New Coin of the City of Elbing,' runs along the periphery of the field. The overall composition reflects the civic pride and mercantile identity of Elbing during the Swedish occupation, executed in a characteristic hammered relief. |
