| Reverse description | The bronzital centre depicts a figural scene in low relief showing a seated man raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing or admonition toward two seated figures — a girl to the left holding an open book and a youth to the right — evoking the theme of rejecting evil and moral guidance. The engraver's signature C. ROSSI appears below the central group, with the mint mark R visible within the centre. The acmonital ring bears the legend CITTA DEL VATICANO along the upper arc, flanked by a coiling serpent on the left side symbolising evil, while the denomination L.500 and the engraver's name DRIUTTI INC. appear in the lower field of the ring. |
