| Reverse description | Central device depicts a radiant dove in descent, representing the Holy Spirit, set within a double circle of radiating flames, the whole serving as a powerful invocation during the interregnum period. The surrounding Latin legend VENI * LVMEN * CORDIVM calls upon the Holy Spirit to come as the light of hearts, a traditional Pentecostal prayer. The denomination MEZZO • SCV • (Mezzo Scudo) is inscribed in the exergue. The overall composition is symmetrical and devotional in character, typical of Papal sede vacante coinage. |
