| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line Latin inscription AUXILIUM / DE SANCTO / 1778, a devotional motto derived from Psalm 19:3 meaning 'Help from the Sanctuary,' enclosed within an elaborate baroque cartouche composed of boldly rendered acanthus and foliate scrollwork. The cartouche is surmounted by a decorative foliate crest and terminates at the base in a symmetrical shell-like ornament. The date appears below the inscription as the final line of text within the cartouche. The design is set against a plain field with a reeded border visible at the coin's rim. |
