| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Saint Paul standing facing, draped in flowing classical robes, holding a long sword by the hilt in his left hand with the blade pointing downward, and clasping a book of the Epistles in his right arm against his body. A halo encircles his bearded head. The figure is rendered in the bold, somewhat archaic style typical of hammered Roman giulio coinage of the Sede Vacante issues. The surrounding Latin legend ALMA ROMA S PAVLVS runs along the periphery, invoking Rome and the apostle Paul as patron. |
