| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a crowned, enthroned figure of Saint Peter seated facing, robed and wearing the papal tiara, holding the Keys of Heaven in his left hand and raising his right hand in benediction. The figure is rendered in a stiff, hieratic style typical of provincial hammered coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central image, reading S٠P٠FANVM٠FORTVNE, identifying the patron saint and the city of Fano. Dot separators punctuate the legend, and the flan edges are notably irregular due to the hammered production technique. |
