| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Saints Peter and Paul, both nimbed and shown in half-length, leaning over a horizontal balustrade that divides the field. Saint Peter appears on the left, bearded, and Saint Paul on the right; both figures face slightly inward in a devotional pose. Below the balustrade, in the lower field, is displayed the heraldic shield of Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), bearing the Borgia family arms with a bull, surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys. The circular legend runs along the outer rim, separated from the inner design by a raised border. |
