| Reverse description | Two covered pyxis-form ceremonial vessels (pyxids) displayed side by side on pedestals, each surmounted by a small cross finial, set within an open wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. Below the vessels, the denomination legend SOLDI · 20 is inscribed in two lines, followed by the date 1796 with a central dot. The wreath border and dotted inner rim frame the design in a restrained neoclassical style characteristic of siege coinage of the period. |
