| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Saint Paul standing, turned slightly to the left, holding an upright sword in his raised right hand and a book in his lowered left hand, the traditional apostolic attributes identifying him as the patron saint of Massa Lombarda. The saint is rendered in the flowing drapery style characteristic of Italian Renaissance hammered coinage. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads • S • PAULVS MASSE LONBARDOR, identifying the saint and the issuing authority. The overall composition is centered within the coin's irregular flan, with the legend distributed evenly around the periphery. |
