Reverse description The Virgin Mary, nimbed and kneeling to the left with hands raised in supplication, faces the Infant Christ depicted at lower left. A small shield charged with a lily appears in the left field. The composition is rendered in a devotional Gothic style typical of late 15th-century Italian coinage. A Latin legend encircles the design within the coin's border.
