| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Saint Peter standing facing, draped in flowing robes, raising his right hand in blessing and holding a large book in his left arm, set against a radiant glory of sunbeams emanating from behind his nimbus-crowned head. A small papal shield appears in the exergue below a decorative baseline. The circular Latin legend *S*PETRVS* *PRINC*APOST surrounds the figure, with star-shaped stops between abbreviated words. The treatment of the figure reflects the high baroque engraving style prevalent in Roman papal mints of the period. |
