Reverse description A large ornate cross composed of eight stylized sword or scepter-like arms radiates from a central cartouche inscribed X / DUCAT, with each arm terminating in decorative fleur-de-lis or foliate finials arranged symmetrically across the field. The fineness mark 980 appears in the exergue at the bottom of the central device. The circumferential Latin legend is divided into two arcing inscriptions: AVORUM NON MORITURA VIRTUS along the upper portion and AUREUS MAGNUS along the lower, separated by small floral ornaments at each side.
