| Reverse description | A reclining male river deity, depicted in the classical allegorical tradition akin to Neptune or a water god, occupies the central field, leaning against an urn from which water flows. The figure is shown semi-draped, in a pose suggestive of abundance and fertility. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, with the date 1794 appearing in the lower exergual area beneath the figure. |
