| Obverse lettering | FRANCISCVS PP. A. IX. – MMXXI IHS MISERANDO ATQUE ELIGENDO |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Baptism of Christ, showing Jesus standing immersed to the waist in the stylized waters of the River Jordan, hands clasped in prayer, while John the Baptist pours water over his head from a vessel held aloft. A dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, descends from the upper left within a radiant glory, rendered in fine detail. The legend CITTA' DEL VATICANO and the denomination 10 EURO are inscribed to the left and right fields respectively. The mint mark R for the Rome Mint and the engraver's signature O. ROSSI appear in the lower portion of the field. The scene is executed in a dignified figurative style consistent with Vatican commemorative coinage. |
