| Reverse description | Three female allegorical figures — representing Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture — standing in a classical grouping set against the backdrop of the Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill) in Rome. The central figure is positioned frontally, flanked by the two others in contrapposto poses, evoking the iconography of the Three Graces. The composition reflects the papal patronage of the arts during Clement XI's pontificate. The reverse legend DIGNIS • VICTORIAM arcs above the scene, conveying the theme of victory awarded to the deserving. |
