| Reverse description | A seated allegorical figure of Justice, rendered in a classical draped style, occupies the central field facing slightly left; she holds an open book inscribed EVANGELIUM in her left arm and raises a balance scale in her right hand. The word IVSTITIA is inscribed in two parts flanking the figure in the lower field. The denomination L.2 appears in the exergue below the plinth on which the figure is seated, accompanied by the engraver's signature MISTRUZZI. The circular legend STATO DELLA CITTA DEL VATICANO runs along the upper border. |
