Reverse description The reverse depicts Saint Peter seated in a boat on turbulent waters, accompanied by a second figure — referencing the Gospel scene of Christ calling Peter upon the sea, a traditional emblem of the Church's spiritual authority over Rome. The figures are rendered in high relief with flowing drapery in the Renaissance style typical of early sixteenth-century papal coinage. The circular legend SANCTVS٠PETRVS٠ALMA٠ROMA٠ surrounds the central scene, invoking Saint Peter and the nurturing city of Rome. A beaded border frames the entire design.
