The reverse shows a personification of charity seated with two children. The reverse inscription is taken from part of 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, "Caritas patiens est, ..., non quaerit, quae sua sunt, ..." ("Love is patient, ..., it does not seek its own interests, ..."). In addition to being good words to live by, this could be a reference to Clement's attempts to clean up corruption that occurred under the reign of his predecessor, Benedict XIII. For example, ministers in charge of finances under Benedict took advantage of their positions for their own gain; they were made to pay restitutions and some were imprisoned under Clement.
