| Reverse description | The Virgin Mary, draped and nimbed, stands facing slightly left upon a crescent moon, her hands clasped in prayer. A radiant glory of stars surrounds her figure, evoking the Immaculate Conception iconography. The circular Latin legend, divided around the figure, reads SVB TVVM PRAESIDIVM, referencing the ancient Marian antiphon. The design is contained within a beaded border, characteristic of hammered papal silver of this period. |
