| Reverse description | Central field depicts a tall, tiered reliquary tabernacle or monstrance shown in elevation, rendered in a stylized architectural form with a domed or crown-like canopy at the top and a stepped or anvil-shaped base, referencing the Precious Blood relic venerated in Mantua. The device occupies most of the inner field and is surrounded by a beaded inner border. The circular Latin legend encircling the device reads TABERNACVLI SANGVINI XPI IHESV, alluding to the famous relic of the Blood of Christ preserved at Sant'Andrea in Mantua. The rim features a toothed or milled border, and a suspension hole is visible at the top. |
