Reverse description Saint Petronius, patron and protector of Bologna, is depicted seated upon clouds in episcopal vestments, holding a model of the city of Bologna in his left hand and a crozier in his right. In the lower left field, the arms of Cardinal Giovanni Archetti as Papal Legate are displayed, while the lower right bears the civic arms of the City of Bologna. The composition is rendered in a dignified baroque style with fine engraving detail. The surrounding Latin legend, divided by the central figure, identifies the saint, the city, the year, and the denomination.
