Reverse description Dynamic scene depicting Saints Peter and Andrew in a fishing boat upon stylized waves, shown in vigorous three-quarter relief typical of High Renaissance papal coinage. Saint Peter stands prominently at the helm or center of the vessel, with fishing nets and nautical elements visible around the two figures, evoking the apostolic call to be 'fishers of men.' The composition fills the inner field with considerable energy and detail for a hammered gold fiorino. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, enclosed by a beaded border.
