| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Pope Pius XII occupying the majority of the field, depicted wearing papal vestments with the papal coat of arms rendered in relief at the truncation below the portrait. The effigy is modelled in a restrained, neoclassical style with fine linear detail in the hair and clerical collar. A circular Latin legend reads PIUS XII PONTIFEX MAXIMUS around the upper periphery, with the birth and death years 1876 and 1958 flanking the portrait along the lower rim. |
