| Reverse description | An elaborately rendered fleurdelised cross with curved, bifurcated terminals at each arm and a central quatrefoil ornament at the crossing point, all executed in relief within a beaded inner circle. The cross arms are decorated with rope-twist detailing and terminate in outwardly curling foliate flourishes, with a crowned fleur-de-lis issuing from the upper arm. The surrounding legend reads XPS VINCIT XPS REGNAT XPS IMPERAT, the traditional Christological acclamation asserting Christ's victory, reign, and command, separated from the inner field by a beaded border. |
