| Reverse description | The Blessed Virgin Mary, crowned and enthroned, seated with the Holy Child upon the Santa Casa di Loreto — the legendary Holy House — which is shown supported by two angels in flight, referencing the miraculous translation of the shrine to Loreto. The composition reflects the deep devotional significance of the Marian sanctuary, a major pilgrimage site in the Papal States. The circular legend below and around the design identifies the mint city of Macerata. |
