| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-quarter frontal effigy of Pope John XXI — born Petrus Hispanus — robed in full papal vestments including a tiara bearing a cross finial, and holding a pastoral staff in his left hand and an open book in his right, symbolising his dual legacy as pontiff and physician-scholar. To the left of the figure appears a heraldic shield associated with Pedro Hispano, flanked by the commemorative dates 1205 and 2005 in the field. The circular legend reads JOÃO·XXI:PAPA·VIII·CENTENÁRIO·DE·PEDRO·HISPANO:MÉDICO, with the engravers' signatures ISABEL C.+F. BRANCO and the mint mark INCM inscribed in the lower field. |
