To the left, a detailed depiction of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is shown in perspective view, with stylised rays emanating upward from behind the dome. The word PROVA (meaning 'trial' or 'proof') appears beneath the basilica, followed by the date 2005. Twelve five-pointed stars of the European Union encircle the entire design along the rim. |
