| Reverse description | A frontal standing figure of Saint Terence, patron saint of Pesaro, is depicted in low relief occupying the central field, clad in episcopal or martyr's vestments with schematic drapery folds. The saint's nimbed head is rendered facing forward in a hieratic, non-naturalistic style consistent with medieval Italian hammered coinage. The surrounding legend, punctuated by pellet stops, reads ⸰ S ⸰ TERENTI V, identifying the patron saint invoked under the authority of the Malatesta lords. The overall design reflects the simplified iconographic conventions of small-denomination billon issues struck in the Marche region during the early fifteenth century. |
