| Reverse description | The quartered heraldic shield of Cardinal Octavio Acquaviva d'Aragona, Legate of Avignon, occupying the central field. The shield displays alternating quarters bearing vertical bars and a rampant lion, supported by two lions passant as supporters at the base, and surmounted by a cardinal's hat with pendant tassels above a patriarchal or legantine cross. The arms are rendered with fine engraving consistent with hammered piastre production of the Avignon mint. The circumferential legend reads OCTAVIVS CARD D AQVAVIVA LEGA AVENIO. |
