| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Baptism of Christ in the River Jordan, rendered in high relief. The figure of Jesus is shown immersed in the waters while water pours over his head from a scallop shell held above, the shell being a traditional Christian symbol of the regenerative power of baptism and new life. The composition evokes the theological significance of the sacrament through which the faithful are reborn as children of God and incorporated into the Church. The legend CITTA DEL VATICANO arcs around the upper field, with the denomination 10 EURO and the Rome Mint mark R appearing in the lower portion of the reverse. |
