| Reverse description | Central field displays the fractional denomination 1/3 in large numerals, formed as a fraction with a horizontal dividing bar, flanked on either side by rosette or pellet ornaments. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO with the date 1689, referencing the doxology and affirming the religious character of this emergency issue struck during the French siege of Mainz. The inscription and numerals are rendered in a plain, utilitarian style consistent with the exigencies of wartime coinage. |
