| Reverse description | Central composition depicting Saint Peter, shown with a nimbus (halo), kneeling in a small storm-tossed boat on turbulent waves, his right arm raised skyward in a gesture of supplication or command, evoking the biblical scene of Christ calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee. The denomination L·5 is inscribed in the lower field, with the date below it. The circular legend STATO DELLA CITTA DEL VATICANO arcs around the upper periphery, identifying the issuing state. The scene is rendered in a dynamic, expressive style characteristic of Italian ecclesiastical medallic art of the 1930s. |
