| Reverse description | An allegorical figure of Fortuna, depicted in dynamic motion running to the left, treads upon a shattered wheel — the broken wheel of Fortune — symbolizing triumph over the vicissitudes of fate. From the upper right, a lightning bolt descends from stylized clouds, assailing the figure, reinforcing the theme of providential resilience. The surrounding legend, divided across the field, frames the allegory in a bold Latin inscription. The design is executed in a vigorous Baroque manner consistent with the finest Venetian medallic tradition. |
