| Reverse description | Saint Peter enthroned facing front, wearing papal tiara and draped robes, his right hand raised in benediction and his left hand grasping a long cruciform key, the symbol of apostolic authority. The figure is rendered in a late Renaissance style with architectural solidity. The mint abbreviation ANCO appears in the lower exergual area, and the surrounding Latin legend identifies the subject as the Apostle Saint Peter. |
