| Beschrijving keerzijde | Christ in Majesty depicted frontally within an almond-shaped mandorla, holding the Book of Gospels in his left hand while raising his right hand in benediction. Nine stars are distributed across the field, four to the left and five to the right of the central figure, filling the available space in a symmetrical arrangement. The design reflects a hieratic, Byzantine-influenced iconographic tradition common to medieval Italian ecclesiastical coinage. The encircling legend in uncial Latin proclaims Rome as the head of the world and invokes the authority of the Senate and People of Rome. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular fabric and flat relief of a hammered gold ducat. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Roman Senate resumed striking gold ducats in the fourteenth century in deliberate imitation of the Venetian ducat — itself the dominant trade coin of the Mediterranean — borrowing its weight standard and near-pure gold fineness to ensure acceptance in international markets without needing Rome's own commercial reputation to back it. The Senate's monetary authority during this period was fitful at best, constrained by the absence of the papacy during the Avignon exile and the chaos of the Western Schism, which left Rome's civic institutions unusually autonomous but chronically underfunded.
The MIR 178/2 attribution places this among the scarcer senatorial emissions, distinct from the more common later strikes.
