| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold three-line Latin inscription, FIAT PAX / IN VIRTVTE / TVA (meaning 'Let peace be made in thy strength,' after Psalm 121:7), set within a richly decorated Baroque cartouche formed by elaborate scrollwork and foliate ornament. A cherub head with wings is positioned at the top of the cartouche, flanked by symmetrical acanthus scrolls and festoons, while a small papal heraldic device occupies the lower portion. The overall composition is characteristic of the ornate engraving style of the Roman mint under Clement XI, conveying a message of peace through divine virtue. The coin is bordered by a uniform milled edge. |
