| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-length standing figure of Saint Peter facing left, draped in flowing robes and nimbed, holding the crossed Keys of the Church in his left hand and a book or scroll in his right. The figure is rendered in a dignified Renaissance style with fine drapery detail, occupying the full height of the coin's field. A small pontifical mark or mint symbol appears in the lower right field. The surrounding circular legend reads ALMA ROMA S PETRVS, invoking Rome as the Alma Mater and identifying the apostolic patron saint of the city and the papal office. |
