| Obverse description | On the front you can see a young woman, her robe half-exposed, so that the breast is not covered. In front of her sits an elderly man with bound hands, to whom she gives her breast. The story known as “Caritas Romana” is about a daughter who breastfeeds the imprisoned father with her milk so that he does not starve. |
| Obverse lettering | Die Römerin ihrn Vater liebt / durch
ihr brust sie ihm Nahrung gibt
1629 (Translation: The Roman loves her father / through her breast she gives him food) |

| Reverse description | The back also takes up the subject of unconditional child love: two storks fly above the cityscape of Dresden. One carries a third stork on his back while the other feeds it with a snake. |
