Reverse description The Holy Spirit represented as a dove with wings outstretched and upswept, rising in glory amid radiating alternating straight and wavy rays of light that fill the entire field, evoking divine illumination. The dove is shown in a dynamic ascending posture at the centre of the composition. The circular Latin legend runs along the outer border, invoking divine enlightenment upon the College of Cardinals assembled in conclave. The reverse design is a standard Sede Vacante type emphasising the spiritual guidance sought during the papal vacancy.
