Reverse description St. Peter standing facing in full figure, holding the keys of heaven upright in his right hand and the Gospels in his left hand, with heraldic shields positioned to either side of the figure. The surrounding Latin legend, a play on the city name Bologna and the verb docet, reads BONONIA DOCET, referencing Bologna's celebrated role as a seat of learning. The composition is rendered in the formal, hieratic style typical of Italian Renaissance hammered gold ducats.
