| Reverse description | A displayed eagle with wings spread stands atop a terrestrial globe rendered with continental outlines, occupying the lower half of the field. Above the eagle, a curved decorative banner carries the Latin motto SPRETO VOLAT ALTIOR ORBE, symbolizing the soul's ascent beyond the earthly sphere. The composition conveys a baroque allegorical theme of transcendence over worldly concerns. The entire design is enclosed within a finely milled border. |
