| Reverse description | The she-wolf of Siena standing in the field, suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus, a legendary emblem closely associated with the ancient foundation myth of Siena. The figure of the wolf is rendered in a stylised, compact manner characteristic of hammered small-denomination coinage of the Italian states. A circular Latin legend encircles the central device, referencing the ancient status of Siena as a city under the protection of the Virgin. |
