Reverse description A ornate baroque cartouche formed by elaborate acanthus and foliate scrollwork frames the three-line devotional inscription TOLLE ET PROIICE, with the date 1736 displayed in the lower portion of the cartouche. The motto, meaning 'Take it and donate it,' alludes to the charitable use of the coin. The entire design is enclosed within a milled border. The composition is characteristic of the refined engraving style of early eighteenth-century papal coinage.
