| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Good Shepherd carrying a lamb on his shoulders amid his flock, with the Virgin Mary in flight holding the Christ Child appearing above him in the upper field. The facade of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is rendered in the background, providing an architectural frame to the religious scene. The composition reflects a devotional, neo-classical engraving style characteristic of Vatican coinage of the period. |
