| Reverse description | A detailed scene depicting the opening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, with a large assembly of bishops and prelates seated in tiered rows within St. Peter's Basilica, rendered in high relief. Above the assembly, radiant rays of light emanate downward from a central dove representing the Holy Spirit, symbolising divine guidance over the council. The exergue bears the denomination L·500, while the legend CONCILIVM·CEC·VAT·II·A·MCMLXII·INITVM arcs around the upper field, and CITTA DEL VATICANO is inscribed across the lower field above the exergual line. |
