| Reverse description | Saint Peter, depicted as a nimbed, bearded figure in draped robes, stands facing forward in a stylized single-masted sailing vessel navigating waves to the right, holding a tall processional cross as a mast. The ship is rendered in a gothic artistic style with a detailed hull and billowing sail suggested by the mast composition. The scene alludes to the biblical episode of Christ walking on water and Peter's wavering faith. A Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border, bearing the words of Christ's rebuke: 'O ye of little faith, why did ye doubt?' |
