| Reverse description | The reverse presents a colored effigy of the Italian novelist Alessandro Manzoni, rendered as a three-quarter facing portrait occupying the left portion of the field, depicting an elderly gentleman with white hair and a black bow tie. Behind him, a color-applied vignette illustrates a scene from his masterwork I Promessi Sposi, showing two embracing figures against a stylized landscape with a winding blue river rendered in polychrome enamel. The legend CITTA DEL VATICANO arcs prominently along the top of the flan, with the facsimile signature A. MANZONI inscribed in the upper right field. The denomination 25 EURO appears in large numerals at lower left, flanked by the mint mark R, while the commemorative dates 1873 and 2023 are placed at lower right, marking the 150th anniversary of Manzoni's death. |
