| Reverse description | A winged lightning bolt — the personal impresa of Francesco Maria II della Rovere — depicted centrally within a wreath composed of oak leaves and acorns, referencing the della Rovere family name (rovere meaning oak). The lightning motif is rendered schematically in the hammered style, with stylised wings flanking the central bolt. The oak wreath border reinforces the dynastic heraldic programme of the issue. The field is plain beyond the central device and its enclosing wreath. |
