Reverse description Full-length figure of Saint Crescentius depicted in Roman military attire, standing facing, clad in armor with a short tunic, holding an upright banner or standard in his right hand. The saint stands triumphant upon a dragon prostrate at his feet, a motif emblematic of his martyrdom and saintly victory over evil. The figure is rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of late fifteenth-century Italian hammered coinage. A Latin devotional legend surrounds the figure within a beaded border, invoking the saint's intercession.
