| Reverse description | A powerful, naturalistically rendered bull strides aggressively to the right across a plain ground line, its head lowered in a charging posture, with musculature depicted in fine sculptural relief. The word ITALIA is inscribed in capital letters in the upper field above the animal. Below the ground line, the denomination L. 20 and the date 1927 appear, with the engraver's initial or mint mark visible beneath the exergual line. The bull, a traditional symbol of Italian strength and agrarian heritage, dominates the entire reverse field with expressive, vigorous modelling characteristic of Romagnoli's medallic style. |
