| Reverse description | A bold six-armed decorative cross occupies the entire field, its arms composed of elegant curved foliate elements terminating in stylized lily blossoms, with additional floral motifs filling the angles between each arm. At the center of the cross, a raised cartouche bears the denomination legend IIS DUCAT in two lines. The fineness mark 980 appears at the lower center, below the cross. The circumferential Latin legend PRO PROSPERITATE MUNDI is inscribed along the upper periphery, while AUREUS MAGNUS runs along the lower periphery, separated by small decorative rosette stops at either side. |
