Reverse description The Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) is depicted in profile, walking to the left and carrying a long cross or standard over its shoulder, with a banner or pennon attached. Above the lamb appears a small symbol, possibly a cross or initial. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters identifies the religious device. The composition is characteristic of Hospitaller devotional iconography, referencing the paschal lamb tradition common to medieval Christian coinage.
