| Reverse description | The reverse features a central geometric design inspired by Michelangelo's pavement pattern for Rome's Capitoline Piazza (Piazza del Campidoglio), rendered as an intricate interlocking star and oval motif in relief. A small portrait bust of Michelangelo is set at the very center of the design. A circular legend in cursive script, rendered in the style of Michelangelo's own handwriting, runs around the periphery of the field. |
