| Reverse description | A finely engraved architectural scene depicting a religious ceremony within a columned basilica interior, with multiple figures in ecclesiastical vestments gathered on a stepped platform. A central standing figure, identified as Christ or a saintly personage, is surrounded by kneeling and standing attendants, suggesting a scene of benediction or presentation. The composition is rendered in elaborate intaglio style with strong perspective depth, flanked by Corinthian columns and a decorated entablature above. The legend FUNDAMENTA EJUS IN MONTIBUS SANCTIS, a quotation from Psalm 87, runs along the lower exergual area. The entire design is enclosed within a wide milled border consistent with the obverse. |
