| Reverse description | A cross pattée enclosed within a central circle divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing an inward-facing crescent, with a fifth crescent placed at the centre of the cross, yielding the distinctive five-crescent composition associated with the Piccini arms adopted under Pius II. The crescents are rendered in bold relief. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design along the coin's periphery, reading ROMA٠CAPVT٠MVNDI, proclaiming Rome as the head of the world. The overall execution is consistent with hammered production at the Roman mint during the pontificate of Pius II (1458–1464). |
