| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Holy Door (Porta Santa) of Saint Peter's Basilica, rendered as a classical Baroque architectural portal with paired columns supporting an entablature surmounted by a decorative pediment with scrollwork finial. Within the open doorway, a hanging veil or cloth is visible, symbolising the Jubilee indulgence accessible to pilgrims who pass through. The mint mark 'R' appears to the left and 'MA' to the right of the portal in the field, referencing the Rome Mint. The date 1625 is inscribed in the lower exergual area. The surrounding legend, split across the coin's circumference, reads the Jubilee verse referencing entry without stain. |
