Der Catalogue général erfasst die Bedeutung der auf dem Revers abgebildeten Lilie nur unzureichend, wenn es dort heißt: "Une fleur de lis smbolise la pureté de Suzanne". Wichtiger scheint zu sein, dass das hebräische Wort schoschanah/ שושן "Lilie" bedeutet; vgl. P. Romanoff, Jewish Symbols on Ancient Jewish Coins, New York 1971, 49: "The lily represented the world of Flowers. It symbolized human virtues such as righteousness, purity and chastity. One of these virtues has been befittingly illustrated by the character of the apocryphal work, "Book of Susanna" (Shoshanah). In the words of the prophet Hosea, the lily became the flower symbol of Israel: "I will be as the dew unto Israel, he shall blossom as the lily"; and the lily was also allegorically referred to in the Song of Songs, and as a favorite simile later in Hebrew poetry."
