The surrounding outer legend reads SUB HOC SIGNO MILITAMUS, separated by pellets, referencing the Order's motto. The design is framed by two concentric circles, with the legend occupying the annular field between them. |

The Paschal Lamb reclines at his feet to the right amid stylized groundwork. The arc legend NON SURREXIT MAIOR curves along the upper periphery, the denomination S · V appears in the lower exergue, and the trial-strike designation PROVA is inscribed in the lower left field. |
