| Reverse description | Central denomination 2 LIRE in large Roman characters, with the date 1866 below, all enclosed within a wreath of oak and olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow, above which the mint mark R appears. The circular legend STATO PONTIFICIO is distributed along the upper periphery, separated by six-pointed stars. The design is clean and heraldic in character, consistent with the standardized coinage reform of the Papal States in the 1860s. |
