Rev. FOSTLVS SEX PO, she-wolf standing right, head left, suckling twins (Romulus and Remus); behind, birds on fig tree; to left, shepherd standing right.

The reverse alludes to the families descent from Faustulus, the shepherd who discovered Remus and Romulus being suckled by the she-wolf on the Palatine Hill and afterwards raised the twins with his wife.
