Reverse description The enthroned crowned Holy Virgin is depicted seated and facing left, holding the Christ Child on her knees; the Christ Child is also shown crowned. The Virgin holds a rose with foliage in her right hand, and the denomination numeral 8 appears in the lower field below the central device. The entire design is contained within a beaded border, with the Latin Marian legend VBERV TVOR MEMORES encircling the composition, punctuated by decorative stops. The iconography reflects contemporary Counter-Reformation Marian devotion prevalent in the small Italian princely states of the period.
