| Reverse description | The reverse presents two standing figures in high relief within a beaded inner circle: at left, Saint Peter nimbed and robed, holding the keys of the Church, faces right toward a kneeling figure of Christ or a papal supplicant at right, also nimbed, in the act of commissioning the pastoral charge. At the base of the composition, two sheep are depicted in the exergual area, referencing the scriptural mandate. The surrounding legend PETRE PASCE OVES MEAS — Feed my sheep, O Peter — encircles the scene, invoking the Petrine commission from the Gospel of John. |
