| Reverse description | The reverse presents the standing full-length figures of Saints Peter and Paul, each identified by their traditional attributes: Saint Peter on the left holding a key and a book, Saint Paul on the right holding a sword and a book, both depicted with nimbi in a frontal, hieratic style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Roman hammered coinage. A small Sforza shield appears at the base between the two figures. The circular Latin legend names the apostles as S٠PETRVS٠ and S٠PAVLVS٠, with ٠ROMA٠ inscribed in the lower exergual area, affirming the mint city. |
