| Obverse description | The upper portion of a terrestrial globe occupies the lower field, from which emerges the Tree of Life, its branches and foliage gracefully transforming into three doves in flight, symbolic of peace and the aspirations of the third millennium. The date appears below the globe, and the engraver's name, L. CRETARA, is inscribed within the globe itself. The legend REPVBBLICA ITALIANA arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters. The composition is rendered in low relief with a refined allegorical style characteristic of Italian commemorative coinage. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts the risen Christ, a powerful sculptural design modelled by Italian sculptor Pericles Fazzini, replicating his celebrated bronze work installed in the Paul VI Audience Hall in Vatican City. The figure is rendered in dynamic, expressive relief with outstretched arms and flowing drapery, conveying both spiritual and artistic grandeur. In the exergue below the figure, the denomination L 10000 and the Rome Mint mark R are inscribed in Latin characters. |
