| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Pope John XXIII wearing the camauro and an ornately embroidered papal vestment, rendered in high relief with fine detail on the liturgical garments. The papal effigy occupies the central field, with the surrounding legend IOANNES XXIII PONT·MAX·A·IV arcing along the upper periphery in incuse Latin lettering. The design reflects the portrait style characteristic of Vatican coinage of the late 1950s and early 1960s, combining devotional solemnity with refined engraving. |
