| Reverse description | The central field depicts a dramatic biblical scene of two robed figures, one raising a stone tablet aloft and the other kneeling in supplication, set against a radiant background symbolising divine light. Below the scene, two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments are shown in relief flanking the inscription II. LEX, with the date 2012 in the exergue. A decorative border of crosses and ornamental devices frames the inner circle. The Latin text of the Second Commandment arcs along the upper legend, with its English translation running beneath along the inner border. |
