背面描述	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.

附加信息	Clemente XI's pontificate was consumed almost entirely by the War of the Spanish Succession, and 1707 was arguably its worst year for the papacy — Imperial Austrian forces under Cardinal Grimani occupied the Papal States that very year, demanding recognition of the Habsburg claimant to the Spanish throne. The Pope, caught between Bourbon and Habsburg pressure, had attempted neutrality and paid for it with an invasion. Large silver piastras of this date circulated within a territory that was, effectively, under foreign military control.
