| Reverse description | The Holy Spirit depicted as a dove with wings outstretched in flight, surrounded by a large glory of radiating sunbeams emanating from the bird's body and filling the upper field. Below the dove, a row of stylised flames — varying in number between die varieties (18 or 20) — rises from the lower field, symbolising Pentecostal fire. The mint name ROMA appears in the exergue, and the circular Latin legend ILLVXIT ILLVCESCAT ADHVC is distributed around the periphery, alluding to the divine light already shed and still to shine. |
