| Reverse description | Crowned and elaborately quartered coat of arms of René II, Duke of Lorraine, centrally placed within a beaded inner circle. The shield displays the complex heraldry of his dynastic claims, including the arms of Jerusalem, Sicily, Anjou, Lorraine, and Bar, surmounted by a ducal crown with decorative flourishes. The surrounding legend in Gothic script reads ADIVVA NOS DEVS SALVTARIS NOSTER, invoking divine assistance. The overall composition is typical of late-medieval hammered silver coinage, with the shield filling the field and the beaded border separating the central device from the marginal legend. |
