| Obverse description | The obverse features a detailed portrait of a nude male figure — an ignudo — drawn from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes, rendered in high relief and occupying the foreground of the field. The figure is depicted in a dynamic, classical pose consistent with the Renaissance artistic tradition of the original fresco. The engraver's name COLANERI appears below the central design. The encircling legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA runs along the periphery. |
