| Reverse description | An elaborate allegorical scene in high relief centred on a tall column surmounted by a winged personification of Fame blowing a trumpet, flanked at its base by two standing figures. Four putti appear in the upper left sky. To the right, a harbour setting features a sailing ship flying a crowned heraldic shield, a fortification wall bearing the cardinal's arms, and scattered cannon and military equipment in the foreground. The motto is inscribed on the face of the pedestal. |
