| Reverse description | The Paschal Lamb (Agnus Dei), nimbed and passant to the left, stands atop a detailed terrestrial globe, bearing a tall cross-staff from which a billowing banner inscribed with a cross flies to the right. The denomination 2 SCVDI appears in two lines to the left of the globe, while a small mint monogram is visible to the right in the field. The circular Latin legend ECCE.AGNVS.DEI.QVI.TOLLIT.PECCATA.MVNDI runs along the upper periphery, quoting the Gospel of John. The composition is rendered in a bold, medieval-inspired engraving style consistent with the heraldic tradition of the Order. |
