| Reverse description | Central allegorical composition depicting flames rising upward, surmounted by clouds and radiating sun rays, with ten small stars interspersed throughout; the design serves as a symbolic representation of the three realms of Dante's Divine Comedy — Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. In the exergue, the denomination L. 500 appears above the date 1965. The mintmark R for the Rome Mint is positioned to the right of the flames, while the word PROVA, indicating trial or pattern status, appears to the left. |
