| Obverse description | The inner disc depicts a dramatic scene of the conversion of Saint Paul on the road to Damascus, showing the Apostle fallen from his horse, rendered in high relief with dynamic, expressive modelling. A heavenly figure appears above in a burst of radiant light, while architectural elements including the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls are visible in the background of the field. The legend CITTÀ DEL VATICANO curves along the left, and ANNO SANCTO PAULO DICATO curves along the right, with the date 2008 and the mint mark R positioned in the field. The engravers' signatures VEROI and L.D.S. INC. appear in the lower portion of the inner disc. The outer copper-nickel ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union. |
