| Obverse description | High-relief depiction of Adam reclining on a rocky surface, his muscular figure rendered in fine detail, extending his left arm and forefinger toward the outstretched hand of the Creator visible at the upper right of the field, after Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel fresco. Radiating lines in the background suggest divine light. The engraver's signature P. MONASSI appears in the lower exergue. |
