| Reverse description | Seated figure of Saint Peter depicted in three-quarter view facing left, shown robed in pontifical vestments, raising his right hand in blessing while holding a book in his left hand. The figure is rendered with considerable sculptural detail characteristic of late Renaissance papal coinage from the Rome Mint. The date 1593 appears in the lower exergual area flanked by decorative stops, while the surrounding circular legend reads S PETRVS ALMA ROMA, invoking Saint Peter and the city of Rome, all contained within a beaded border. |
