| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a large ornate cross fleury, its four arms elaborately decorated with floral terminals and a small cross pattee at the centre, all struck in bold hammered relief against a plain field. The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner border. The surrounding Latin legend, reading clockwise, presents the pious motto: FORTITVDO ET LAVS MEA DOMINV[S], a Scriptural invocation meaning 'The Lord is my strength and my praise' (Exodus 15:2). |
