| Reverse description | The Immaculate Virgin Mary is depicted standing in full figure at center, robed and draped in a flowing mantle, her hands crossed over her chest in a gesture of devotion. She stands atop a terrestrial globe, with a crescent moon beneath her feet, referencing the Apocalyptic Woman of Revelation 12. A starred halo encircles her head. The denominational inscription LIRE 1 appears to the lower left, while the legend STATO DELLA CITTA DEL VATICANO curves around the upper and right periphery. The engraver's signatures MISTRUZZI and MOTTI INC. are visible in small lettering near the base. |
