| Reverse description | Two Victories standing facing one another in confronted pose, each winged and draped, jointly supporting an inscribed votive shield resting upon a low altar decorated with a diamond or lozenge pattern. The composition closely follows the official VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP type issued at London, but the execution is barbarous with blundered and degenerate letterforms throughout. The exergue retains a garbled imitation of the PLN London mintmark. The shield bears a debased rendering of the VOT PR votive inscription. |
| Reverse script | Latin |
| Reverse lettering | VICTONIAII LAETAE PRIIIC VT / YII on shield PLN (Translation: Blundered, should be VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP (Principium Perpertua) - joyous victory to the eternal Prince. Shield inscription should be VOT PR, Vota Populi Romani - prayers (vows) of the Roman people. London mintmark) |
