| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Saint Peter, nimbed and draped in flowing robes, seated facing right on a low throne or bench. He raises his right hand in a gesture of benediction while his left hand holds the keys of heaven, rendered vertically beside him. The figure is executed in a robust, mannered style typical of late Renaissance papal coinage. The surrounding legend, separated by six-pointed stars and pellets, reads S PETRVS ALMA ROM, referencing Saint Peter and the nurturing city of Rome. The mintmaster's initials G·T appear in the exergue below the seated figure, within a rope border. |
