| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Pontifical Swiss Guard rendered in full applied color, standing at three-quarter view to the right and dressed in the traditional Renaissance-style uniform featuring the distinctive striped doublet in red, yellow, blue, and purple hues, a morion helmet adorned with a red plume, and partial plate armor. The figure is set against an incuse background depicting a long arched corridor of the Vatican Palace rendered in fine engraved detail. The inscription GARDE SUISSE PONTIFICALE is arranged in three lines to the left of center in the field, with the commemorative dates 1506 - 2006 below, marking the 500th anniversary of the founding of the Pontifical Swiss Guard. |
