| Reverse description | Two nimbate apostles standing facing, Saint Paul on the left holding a sword and book, and Saint Peter on the right holding keys and a book; a mintmaster's symbol appears between their feet in the lower field. The place name ANCO (for Ancona) appears in the exergue below, identifying the mint. The figures are rendered in a Gothic-influenced style typical of late 15th-century Papal coinage, with the legend distributed around the periphery separating the two saints' names. |
