| Reverse description | Saint Prosdocimus, the first bishop and patron of Padua, is depicted nimbate and standing facing in full length, clad in episcopal vestments. He holds a crozier in his left hand and a model of the cathedral in his right hand, referencing his legendary role in founding the city's first Christian community. The letter P appears in the right field, serving as a mint or issuer mark. The figure is rendered in a hieratic, frontal style consistent with mid-fourteenth-century Italian ecclesiastical coin imagery, enclosed within a beaded border separating the design from the surrounding legend. |
