| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the harbor of Civitavecchia, the principal port of the Papal States, commemorating its enlargement and improvement under Clement X. In the foreground, a large multi-masted galley rides at anchor amid stylized waves, with smaller craft visible alongside; behind it rise the massive crenellated walls of the port fortifications, while to the left an arched quay structure is depicted. A flag flies from the tallest mast, and billowing clouds fill the upper field. The date in Roman numerals M·DC·LXXII appears in the lower exergue, flanked by a small papal shield, with the legend VT·ABVNDETIS·MAGIS arching across the upper field between star stops. |
