| Reverse description | A struck and colored effigy of Pope Pius XI is portrayed in left-facing bust, wearing the traditional white papal cassock and mozetta, depicted in high relief against a full-color background. Behind the papal portrait, a large domed ecclesiastical basilica rendered in color printing dominates the right portion of the field beneath a deep blue sky, evoking the architectural grandeur of Vatican City. The arc legend 85 YEARS OF VATICAN CITY STATE curves along the upper border, with the commemorative date 11.02.2014 continuing to the right. Along the lower right rim, the inscription PIUS XI 1922-1939 identifies the subject, separated by a small star device. |
