| Reverse description | A dove of the Holy Spirit with outstretched wings descends amid radiating rays of light emanating from the upper field, symbolising the divine inspiration of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. The circular Latin legend CONCILIVM·OEC·VAT·II·A·MCMLXII·INITVM surrounds the design along the periphery. In the lower field, the issuer inscription CITTA DEL VATICANO appears in two lines above the denomination L·10, all set within a plain field. The composition is bold and emblematic, evoking the spiritual solemnity of the council's opening. |
