| Reverse description | Allegorical scene inspired by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam: the figure of God, rendered in close-up with a bearded, aged visage occupying the left field, extends a large cupped hand in which the newly created Adam kneels in a supplicant posture with arms raised. Rays of divine breath emanate from the upper left, suffusing the composition with a sense of sacred animation. The mint mark R appears to the right of centre in the field. The legend CITTA' DEL VATICANO arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination L. 200 is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
