| Reverse description | The central device depicts the Holy Spirit as a dove in flight with wings spread wide, surrounded by radiating rays of light emanating outward across the field, symbolising divine inspiration and the opening of the Second Vatican Council. Below the dove, in two lines, appears the inscription 'CITTA DEL VATICANO' with the denomination 'L · 1' beneath. The circumferential legend 'CONCILIVM · OEC · VAT · II · A · MCMLXII · INITVM' encircles the design, commemorating the opening of the Ecumenical Council in 1962. |
