| Reverse description | A bold cross with fleur-de-lis terminals occupies the centre of the field, contained within an inner circle. The four arms of the cross divide the field symmetrically, with the lily-form ends lending a heraldic elegance typical of Italian Renaissance coinage. The surrounding legend, arranged in the outer field, carries the Christological invocation XPS VINCIT XPS REGNAT XPS IMPERA, proclaiming that Christ conquers, reigns, and commands. The overall composition follows the well-established crusading cross type common to Italian scudi of the period. |
