| Reverse description | A fimbriated and lilied cross occupies the centre of the field, with the arms of vice-legate Monsignor Francesco Bossi and the civic arms of Bologna disposed in the quarters or flanking the cross. The design reflects the dual authority of papal and communal governance in Bologna. The peripheral legend BONONIA DOCET, meaning 'Bologna teaches', references the city's celebrated university tradition. All elements are executed in the characteristic bold relief of mid-sixteenth-century Italian hammered gold coinage. |
