Reverse description A large plain cross divides the field into four quarters, each angle occupied by a pair of crossed keys, the traditional emblems of papal authority and the symbol of Saint Peter. The design is boldly struck in the hammered style, with the cross extending to the inner beaded border. A Latin legend reading SANCTVS PETRVS runs around the periphery, though the irregular flan results in partial legibility of the inscription.
