| Reverse description | A draped papal bust in right profile dominates the field, depicted wearing a papal cope richly decorated with ornamental detail and a papal tiara, closely imitating the style of the Bologna bianco issued under papal authority. The portrait is rendered in a competent hammered technique with characteristic broad facial features. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads PETRVS * APOS * PONT * MAX, invoking Saint Peter as Apostle and Supreme Pontiff, providing the religious authority underpinning this imitative coinage. Pellet stops separate the abbreviated legend elements around the beaded border. |
