| Reversbeschreibung | 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. |

Alexander VII — born Fabio Chigi — was elected pope in April 1655 after a conclave that lasted eighty days, one of the longest of the seventeenth century. His reign coincided with the final years of meaningful papal temporal influence over Italian political affairs, and his coinage reflects a deliberate program of dynastic self-assertion through numismatic imagery.
The motto NEC CITRA NEC VLTRA — neither falling short nor exceeding — was a personal device Chigi had used long before his elevation, first appearing in his heraldic program as a cardinal-diplomat. Its presence on the testone marks an unusual case of a pope importing pre-pontifical personal iconography directly onto state coinage.
