| Reverse description | Highly detailed antique-finished depiction of the interior of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, viewed from directly below, rendered in remarkable relief. The composition captures the radiating ribbed vault of the cupola at centre, surrounded by the ornate coffered pendentives, decorative pilasters, and sculpted cartouches of the basilica's interior architecture. A circular Latin inscription band encircles the drum of the dome, replicating the famous dedicatory text. The inscription ST. PETER'S BASILICA appears along the upper rim and the date 2016 is placed at the lower rim. |
