| Reverse description | A detailed scene depicting Pope Pius XII in full pontifical vestments, carrying a processional cross, kneeling with his entourage before the open Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica. The figures are shown in high relief against a crowd of attendants and dignitaries visible in the background through the doorway. A scroll bearing the Latin motto IANVA COELI (Gate of Heaven) is displayed above the doorway, surmounted by the papal tiara and keys. The circular legend STATO DELLA CITTA DEL VATICANO runs around the rim, with the denomination L 10 split to either side in the lower field. |
