| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a figural scene of the Baptism of Christ, showing a standing figure of John the Baptist on the left pouring water over the bowed head of Christ, who kneels at right before stylized waves symbolising the River Jordan. The composition is rendered in a bold, modernist style with strong sculptural relief, characteristic of mid-twentieth century Vatican coinage. The engraver's signature MORELLI appears in small letters in the lower right field. The legend CITTA DEL VATICANO arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination L.500 is inscribed in the lower field. |
