| Reverse description | A dove in flight, shown with outstretched wings and emitting radiant rays of light in all directions, occupies the central field, symbolising the Holy Spirit descending upon the Church during the interregnum. The bird is rendered in a naturalistic baroque style, with detailed feathering visible on wings and tail. The circular legend DA٠RECTA٠SAPERE (Grant wisdom to do right) runs along the upper periphery, while the mint name ROMA appears in the lower exergue. The reeded rim frames the composition. |
