| Reverse description | A cylindrical altar or cippus decorated with a draped ribbon and pendant garland stands on a stepped base at center, emitting a large billowing plume of smoke or flames from its top, symbolizing the public vows offered for the marriage. The Latin legend PERPETVO· arches across the upper field, while the exergual inscription VOTA PUBLICA appears within a rectangular panel at the base, translating as 'public vows in perpetuity.' The design is enclosed within a toothed inner border and a milled outer rim, consistent with the baroque commemorative medallic tradition. |
