| Reverse description | A standing female allegorical figure, representing the muse or a personification from Leopardi's lyric poetry, with rose petals flowing from her outstretched hands, evoking imagery from his celebrated ode 'A Silvia'. The denomination 'L 500' and the Rome Mint mark 'R' appear to the right of the figure, while the date '1987' is positioned to the left. A verse from the poem 'A Silvia' runs as the principal legend around the periphery. |
