| Reverse description | The municipal arms of the city of Metz displayed on a shield, set within an ornate epicycloid border composed of six flowered or cusped lobes, creating a decorative frame reminiscent of Gothic architectural tracery. The heraldic shield bears the traditional arms of Metz. The surrounding circular Latin legend names the issuing authority and the date of striking. The overall design reflects the civic pride and heraldic tradition of this important Lorraine city. |
