| Reverse description | The rampant lion of Bologna, heraldic symbol of the city, occupies the central field, depicted in fine detail with flowing mane and raised forepaws in the classic passant-rampant pose. The lion stands within a wreath or decorative inner border, with the surrounding field left plain. The circular Latin legend o BONONI A o DOCET o — the celebrated motto of Bologna referencing the city's renowned university — encircles the design along the outer border, punctuated by annulets as separators. |
