Reverse description The reverse features a large Cross of the Order of Christ at center, its distinctive splayed and pointed arms rendered in high relief, with a five-petaled rose ornament in each of the four quadrants formed by the cross. The circular Latin legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES — meaning 'In this sign thou shalt conquer' — runs around the full periphery, separated by small asterisk ornaments. The overall composition is bold and heraldic, with the cross dominating the field and the roses providing symmetrical decorative balance. The coin alignment is maintained with the legend reading continuously around the border.
