| Reverse description | The reverse features a decorative cartouche of Baroque scrollwork framing the two-line Latin inscription HABETIS PAVPERES in bold capital letters, with the date 1739 below. A small crown surmounts the cartouche at the top, while symmetrical foliate and volute ornaments adorn the sides and base. The inscription is a reference to the Gospel of John (12:8), alluding to the permanent presence of the poor among the faithful. The overall composition is clean and typographic, reflecting the refined engraving style of the Rome Mint under Clement XII. |
