| Reverse description | The Lupa Romana, the she-wolf of Rome, stands to the left with head turned back to the right, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus who are depicted beneath her. The composition evokes the founding myth of Rome and reflects the colony's pride in its Roman identity. The colonial legend is divided, appearing above the wolf in the upper field and in the exergue below a ground line. |
