The reverse legend, divided around the central device, invokes the Blood of Jesus Christ and the apostle Saint Andrew, patron of Mantua. The abbreviation · MAN · appears in the exergue, denoting the city of Mantova. The inscription is rendered in three lines within the field, framed by a beaded border consistent with hammered coinage of the period. |
