The inscription ITALIA DELLE ARTI curves along the upper portion of the reverse, while the year 2018 and mint mark R appear along the lower field. The name TRANI is inscribed at the very bottom of the design, identifying the subject of the series. |

| Additional information |
Trani Cathedral was begun around 1097 and constructed in stages over two centuries, its position directly on the Adriatic waterfront making it one of the most geographically distinctive Romanesque structures in southern Italy. The building's integration of Byzantine, Arab, and Norman influences reflects the political succession of powers that controlled Apulia during the Norman and Hohenstaufen periods — Trani itself served as a significant port and administrative center under Frederick II.
This issue is part of the ongoing Italian Arts series, which assigns a separate release to each of Italy's twenty regions. Puglia's inclusion came relatively late in the rotation.
