| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large, ornate crowned double 'M' monogram — the so-called 'Maria' cipher — in bold interlaced letters occupying the central field, a devotional reference to the Virgin Mary. Above the monogram a floriated cross pattée is prominently displayed. To either side of the cross appear the denomination indicators 'R' and '4'. The date, here reading 1691 (the latest documented year for this issue), is placed in the lower portion of the field. The circular Latin legend VIRTVTE ET PROTECTIONE runs around the periphery, separated by small ornamental stops, within a reeded border. |
