| Reverse description | A menacing demonic dragon or serpentine beast dominates the upper portion of the reverse, its clawed forepaws clutching a broken branch. Beneath it, a supine female figure lies prostrate, rendered in a posture of vulnerability or death, symbolising the theme of the condemnation of abortion. The denomination L.50 appears in the right field alongside the mint mark R, with the legend CITTA DEL VATICANO arcing around the periphery. |
