| Reverse description | Saint Michael the Archangel depicted standing in full figure, triumphant over a prostrate Satan beneath his feet. The archangel brandishes an unsheathed sword aloft in his right hand and holds a pair of scales in his left, symbolising divine justice and victory over evil. The composition is bold and dynamic, consistent with Counter-Reformation iconographic conventions. The mint name ROMA appears in the exergue below the central device, separated by a line, with the surrounding legend distributed across the field. |
