| Reverse description | Standing figure of Saint John the Baptist facing front, raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing while his left hand holds a long processional cross from which a banner is suspended. The date appears within the circumscribed Latin legend NON • SURREXIT • MAIOR • 1794 •, a scriptural reference alluding to the saint's greatness. The composition is rendered in a refined baroque engraving style characteristic of late-eighteenth-century Genoese coinage. |
