Reverse description The papal tiara surmounts a pair of crossed keys in saltire, the traditional emblems of the Apostolic See, flanked by decorative floral ornaments in the field. Below, the shield of the Medici family — bearing the characteristic arrangement of roundels (palle) — is prominently displayed at center. The surrounding legend identifies the issuing pontiff. The composition is bold and well-centered, characteristic of hammered grossi struck under Leo X.
