| Reverse description | Saint Peter, the patron saint of Ancona, depicted in full figure standing facing, holding crossed keys in his right hand and a book in his left hand, rendered in the characteristic hammered style of papal coinage from the Ancona mint. The figure is shown with flowing robes and a nimbus, conveying apostolic authority. The field around the figure is relatively plain, drawing attention to the central devotional image. A Latin legend encircles the design identifying the saint and the issuing city of Ancona. A beaded border frames the entire composition along the coin's rim. |
