| Obverse description | Central field depicts a finely rendered ancient Mediterranean sailing vessel navigating stylized waves, its single mast and billowing sail occupying the majority of the design area, with a flag flying from the bow. Twelve five-pointed stars arranged in an arc along the upper border evoke the European Union emblem. The date 2005 appears in the left field, and the monogram RI (Repubblica Italiana) is positioned to the right of the mast. The engraver's signature E.L. FRAPICCINI is inscribed along the lower rim. |
