| Reverse description | Adam and Eve stand before the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, their gazes drawn toward the forbidden fruit. The hands of God descend from above in a gesture of prohibition, forbidding them to take the fruit. The composition is rendered in a stylised relief consistent with Vatican mint artistic tradition of the period. The denomination L.20 appears in the right field, with the mint mark R below, and the legend CITTA DEL VATICANO arcs along the upper periphery. |
