| Reverse description | The reverse bears a four-line denomination inscription in raised lettering set within an elaborately decorated cartouche, surmounted by a papal tiara with ornamental scrollwork flanking either side. The legend reads MEZO / BAIOC / · CO · / FERRAR, identifying the coin as a Mezzo Baiocco struck at the Ferrara mint. The cartouche is framed by baroque foliate ornaments characteristic of early eighteenth-century Papal States coinage. |
