Reverse description Centrally depicted is the walled Holy Door (Porta Santa) of St. Peter's Basilica shown in elaborate architectural perspective, its surface rendered with brick courses and ornamental detail within a classical columned portico surmounted by a broken pediment with a lunette. Two standing allegorical or saintly figures flank the portal, one on each side of the classical frame. The papal arms of Clement X appear in the lower exergue, flanked by the Roman date MDCLXXV. The surrounding Latin legend CLAVSIS FORIBVS VENIER ET DABIT PACEM references the closing of the Holy Door and the granting of peace, a direct allusion to the Holy Year of 1675. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border.
