| Reverse description | Half-length facing figure of Saint Peter, his head turned sharply to the left, depicted in apostolic vestments. In his raised right hand he holds a key, the primary symbol of his papal authority, while his left hand clasps a book, representing the scriptures. The surrounding Latin legend reads S PETRVS ALMA ROMA, identifying the saint and invoking Rome as his spiritual home. The figure is rendered in the flat, linear style typical of hammered Papal States coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. |
