| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Pope John XXIII, vested in a richly ornamented papal cope and wearing the zucchetto, rendered in high relief with fine detail on the embroidered vestment. The Latin legend curves along the upper periphery, with the pontifical year indicated at the base of the coin below the truncation. The portrait is a dignified and naturalistic effigy in the tradition of Vatican coinage engraved by Pietro Giampaoli. |
