The shield is flanked on either side by symmetrical olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon, their sprigs curving outward and downward. The circular Latin legend SIT • NOMEN • DOMINI • A • BENEDICTUM • 1740 runs clockwise around the design, with a small six-petalled rosette serving as a stop mark, all within a finely toothed beaded border. |
