| Reverse description | An elaborate Baroque oval cartouche, framed by bold scrollwork volutes and surmounted by a cherub's head, occupies the entire reverse field. Within the cartouche, the three-line Latin inscription VAE·VOBIS / DIVITIBVS / 1761 is boldly struck in capital letters, the date appearing on the lowest line. The motto, drawn from the Gospel of Luke (6:24), translates as 'Woe to you who are rich,' reflecting Clement XIII's social and religious concerns. The overall composition is typical of Papal States coinage of this period, combining devotional text with refined Baroque ornamental design. |
