| Reverse description | Central device consists of an elaborate decorative cross composed of interlaced Gothic letters, forming a monogram cross in the field, with floral or foliate terminals at each arm, all set within the open field without an inner circle. The cross is rendered in the ornate style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Italian Renaissance hammered gold coinage, with the letters F and M woven into the design representing Francis and Montferrat. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design within a beaded border, invoking a religious motto referencing the casting out of demons in the sign of the cross. |
