| Reverse description | The upper portion of the reverse features a full-color reproduction of the celebrated apse mosaic from the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna, depicting Christ enthroned on a celestial globe, flanked by archangels and ecclesiastical figures rendered in vivid Byzantine polychrome. Below the color insert, a detailed engraved architectural elevation of the octagonal basilica is centrally positioned, flanked by the inscriptions 'RAVENNA' to the left and 'VITH CENTURY' to the right. The legend 'BASILICA DI SAN VITALE' arcs across the upper field beneath the mosaic panel. Along the lower border, the inscription 'WONDERFUL MOSAICS' is rendered in bold stylized lettering arranged in a decorative mosaic-tile motif. |
