| Reverse description | A detailed right-facing bust of a Pontifical Swiss Guard soldier dominates the right portion of the field, depicted wearing the distinctive traditional plumed morion helmet with elaborate decoration and a ruffled collar visible at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine engraving capturing the texture of the helmet plume and uniform details. To the left of the portrait, the inscription 'GARDE SUISSE PONTIFICALE' appears in three stacked lines, with the commemorative dates '1506 - 2006' below, marking the 500th anniversary of the founding of the Papal Swiss Guard. |
