| Obverse description | Bimetallic fantasy pattern piece. The central aluminum-bronze disc features a high-relief sculptural design depicting a windswept rocky landscape or gnarled natural formation, rendered with strong chiaroscuro and dynamic line work. The legend ESSAI - PATTERN - PROBE arcs across the upper portion of the inner disc, indicating trial-piece status in three languages. The date 2010 appears in the lower exergual area of the central field. The outer nickel ring is adorned with twelve equally spaced cross motifs, echoing the papal and Vatican heraldic tradition. |
