| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Pope John XXIII wearing a zucchetto and an ornately embroidered papal mozetta, rendered in high relief with fine detail on the vestment's decorative borders. The effigy occupies the central field, with the legend arcing along the upper periphery reading IOANNES·XXIII·PONT·MAX, and the regnal year designation A·IV continuing along the right rim. The portrait is modelled in a naturalistic style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Vatican coinage, engraved by Pietro Giampaoli. |
