| Reverse description | An allegorical female figure personifying Peace seated to the left, draped in flowing robes rendered in dynamic Baroque style, leaning upon a square altar adorned with the papal coat of arms of Innocent XII surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys. At her feet lie scattered weapons and instruments of war, symbolizing the vanquishing of conflict. A palm frond is visible to her right, further reinforcing the allegory of peace. The date 1694 appears in the exergue, and the encircling legend COGITO COGITATIONES PACIS, taken from Jeremiah 29:11, frames the composition within a toothed border. |
