| Reverse description | Central field depicts Saint Peter, shown with a nimbus, standing upright in a small storm-tossed fishing boat, his right arm raised as if commanding the waves, evoking the biblical scene of Christ calming the sea. The turbulent waters are rendered with dynamic, flowing lines beneath the vessel. The circular legend STATO DELLA CITTA DEL VATICANO runs along the upper periphery. Below a horizontal line in the lower exergue, the denomination L·5 appears above the date 1940, with the denomination rendered in a stylised italic script. |
