| Reverse description | The Holy Spirit depicted as a radiant dove with wings outstretched in full flight, set against an aureole of long diverging rays of light emanating from behind the bird. Below, billowing banks of clouds fill the lower field, rendered in high relief with considerable artistic virtuosity. The circular Latin legend arcs around the upper periphery of the coin, referencing the divine light sent from heaven. The overall composition conveys a strong Baroque devotional character consistent with the Roman ecclesiastical minting tradition of the eighteenth century. |
