| Obverse description | The obverse features a coloured depiction of Jak Mandolino, the clumsy gangster character created by the surrealist cartoonist Jacovitti, shown in his characteristic comic style with the figure of Pop Corn perched upon his back, serving as his amusing adviser. The design employs bold, expressive linework consistent with Jacovitti's distinctive satirical illustration style. The legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA encircles the composition, while the inscription JAK MANDOLINO appears in the exergue. |
