The initials S and B (Sanctus Blasius) flank the figure on either side. The circular legend, commencing at the left, reads in Latin invoking divine intercession through the saint. |

The shield is surmounted by a large crown topped by a cross. The date 1731 appears in the upper field flanking the crown. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition, reading as an abbreviation for the Senate, Duke, and perpetual republic of Ragusa, divided at centre left and right. |
