| Reverse description | Central allegorical scene depicting the opening of the Second Vatican Council, showing the Pope enthroned at center surrounded by a large assembly of mitred bishops and cardinals gathered in a semicircular arrangement, evoking the interior of St. Peter's Basilica. Rays of divine light emanate from above the papal throne, symbolizing spiritual illumination. The curved legend CONCILIUM OEC VAT II A MCMLXII INITUM arcs around the upper field, while CITTA DEL VATICANO and the denomination L 50 are inscribed in the lower exergue, separated by a horizontal line. |
