| Reverse description | Central device depicts a hand emerging from clouds at upper right, holding a balance scale in perfect equilibrium, symbolizing justice and moderation — a direct allusion to the papal motto. A six-pointed star or asterisk ornament appears in the lower exergual area beneath the scales. The surrounding Latin legend NEC CITRA NEC VLTRA ('neither this side nor beyond') arcs across the upper field, conveying the ideal of measured and impartial papal governance. The entire design is contained within a beaded border, consistent with the hammered coinage style of the Roman Mint under Alexander VII. |
