| Reverse description | The aluminium bronze centre depicts an upward-reaching hand of God, fingers extended, set against a stylised globe formed by intersecting curved lines representing the creation of the universe. The engraver's signature N. MORELLI appears in the right field of the centre, and the mint mark R for Rome is struck in the lower left. The denomination L. 500 is inscribed along the lower arc of the stainless steel outer ring, while the legend CITTA DEL VATICANO runs along the upper arc, all lettered in a clean Roman capital typeface. |
