| Reverse description | The full-length figure of Saint Peter the Apostle stands facing, clad in flowing ecclesiastical robes and wearing a nimbus; his right hand raises a large ornate key, the traditional attribute of the first pope, while his left hand holds a book. To the lower left appears the arms of Bologna surmounted by a papal tiara and keys, and to the lower right a second heraldic shield, likely the arms of Pope Pius II, reflecting the coin's dual civic and papal authority. The surrounding border legend names the patron saint. The figure is executed in the vigorous, somewhat stylised manner characteristic of mid-fifteenth-century Bolognese die-cutting. |
