| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Saint Geminianus, patron saint of Modena, depicted kneeling to the right with his face raised toward the heavens and both arms outstretched in a gesture of supplication or prayer. Beneath the saint, a schematic representation of the walled city of Modena is visible. The devotional scene is framed by a circular Latin legend. The composition reflects the Counter-Reformation piety characteristic of Este dynastic coinage of this period. |
