| Reverse description | A four-line Latin scriptural inscription in raised capital letters is set within an ornate baroque cartouche formed by symmetrical foliate and scroll volutes, with a fleur-de-lis finial at the apex and pendant scrollwork at the base. The cartouche occupies virtually the entire reverse field, with a plain inner border and a toothed outer rim. The inscription reads EDENT PAVPERES ET SATVRABVNTVR, a Psalm-derived motto affirming charitable provision for the poor, consistent with the pastoral programme of Benedict XIV. |
