| Reverse description | The central motif depicts the ornate Papal Throne (Sedia Gestatoria) rendered in fine detail, shown unoccupied to symbolise the Sede Vacante following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in February 2013. The elaborately carved throne, bearing pontifical insignia including the crossed keys of Saint Peter on its back panel, is surrounded on both sides by a crowd of robed figures rendered in high relief, evoking the atmosphere of the Vatican. The legend SEDE VACANTE 2013 is inscribed vertically along the left field. |
