The reverse legend refers to the famous dream of Constantine which led him to adopt Christianity - the legend on the reverse translates as "under this sign you will conquer". The bishop Eusebius of Caesaria, a historian, states that Constantine was marching with his army, when he looked up to the sun and saw a cross of light above it, and with it the Greek words "(ἐν) τούτῳ νίκα" ("In this, conquer"), a phrase often rendered into Latin as hoc signo victor eris ("under this sign, you will conquer"). At first, Constantine did not know the meaning of the apparition, but on the following night, he had a dream in which Christ explained to him that he should use the sign of the cross against his enemies.
