The Seal of Jupiter
The seal is the practical shorthand of the sphere: engraved on tin with Jupiter fortunate it is held to conduce to gain and riches, favour and love, peace and concord, the appeasing of enemies and the confirming of honours, and to dissolve enchantments when cut in coral.
Two different objects are called Jupiter's seal in the literature: this character, drawn from the square, and the crowned king with sword and sceptre that planetary_talismans.json describes, which is a figure and belongs with the image chapter. The corpus records both and keeps them apart. Agrippa's text adds a detail worth keeping: the Jupiter table is said to work when engraved on coral as well as on tin, and Tyson notes that the coral-and-cornelian assignments in this chapter are transposed, with coral belonging to Mars by colour and virtue.

The seal is the practical shorthand of the sphere: engraved on tin with Jupiter fortunate it is held to conduce to gain and riches, favour and love, peace and concord, the appeasing of enemies and the confirming of honours, and to dissolve enchantments when cut in coral. Agrippa's chapter makes the seal the end of the arithmetic — numbers, then divine names, then the character drawn from them — and treats the seal, not the image, as the operative sign of the table.

The character of the planet as such, drawn from the divine names over the numbers of Jupiter's four-by-four square and printed in Agrippa's plate between the characters of the intelligence and of the spirit, under the caption for Jupiter. It is a traced character rather than a figure, and it is the sign that stands for the sphere as a whole when neither the intelligence nor the spirit is named.
