| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed frontal elevation of the Colosseum of Rome rendered in high relief, depicting the iconic amphitheatre's multiple arcaded tiers with arched bays populated by figurative elements. The design is faithful to the ancient Roman structure and evokes its monumental character. A beaded inner border frames the composition, with the abbreviated Latin legend 'P M TR P II COS S P' arranged in an arc around the upper portion of the field, referencing a Roman imperial titulature inscription associated with the original Colosseum's dedication. The Roman numeral date 'MMXI' appears in the exergue below the structure. |
