| Reverse description | A finely engraved three-quarter perspective view of the exterior facade of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, showcasing the grand Baroque architecture designed by Carlo Maderno, with the imposing central dome of Michelangelo rising prominently above the roofline flanked by two smaller domes. The facade features tall Corinthian pilasters, arched windows, a central triangular pediment, and a balustrade adorned with statues of saints along the roofline. The broad stepped atrium extends across the lower portion of the design. The curved legend ST. PETER'S BASILICA arcs along the upper periphery of the field in capital Latin letters. |
