| Reverse description | Central device depicting a radiant sun with a human face rising above stylised waves, from which emerges a tall plant or torch issuing multiple flame-like branches, flanked by clouds or foliage in the field, all rendered in the elaborate baroque manner typical of Gonzaga coinage. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border. The Latin motto legend ALTA A LONGE COGNOSCIT encircles the device, a biblical reference (Job 39:29) alluding to the eagle's far-seeing vision, here applied as a dynastic impresa. |
