| Reverse description | A bee in high relief, wings spread, perched upon the back of a leaping shark whose body curves around the lower and right portions of the field, symbolising the corvette's name (Ape meaning bee in Italian) overpowering a larger adversary. The plain field provides a smooth background with no legend. |
