| Reverse description | Left-facing truncated bust of Pope Paul VI wearing a camauro and papal vestments, rendered in fine relief by engraver Giuseppe Pirrone. The legend 'PAVLVS VI' arcs along the upper left periphery, while 'P. MAX. A. VI' appears on the upper right, denoting his title of Pontifex Maximus and the sixth year of his pontificate. The engraver's signature 'G. PIRRONE - MONASSI INC.' is inscribed in small letters along the lower rim. The portrait is executed in a naturalistic style with careful attention to drapery and facial detail. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
