| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly composed scene depicting the risen Christ with arms outstretched in a gesture of blessing and triumph, dominating the upper field. Beneath His feet, the forces of evil are symbolically subjugated. A prominent cross rises above the figure of Christ, reinforcing the redemptive iconography of the Holy Year. The background features a multitude of faithful pilgrims, architectural elements, and ecclesiastical buildings, with the distinctive silhouette of the Basilica of Saint Peter visible to the right. The composition is rendered in high-relief with fine engraving detail in the style of Enrico Manfrini. |
