| Reverse description | Saint Peter, nimbed and shown as an elderly bearded figure, seated in a small boat on stylized waves, actively engaged in drawing a fishing net. A second figure assists from within the vessel, referencing the apostolic calling of the fisherman. The composition is set within a plain inner circle, with the surrounding legend referencing Bologna's civic motto. The imagery evokes the traditional Bolognese reverse type that had been employed on local gold coinage for generations. |
