Reverse

The coin's obverse depicts the tender and sensitive face of a woman – Maria, the mother of Jesus. The relief, framed by ornaments and angels richly detailed, shows the ethereal beauty of the most revered woman in christendom, but also her deep sorrow and grief about the loss of her beloved son. The inscription on the coin reads Sancta Maria Mater Dei – Holy Mary Mother of God, the official title the christian church gave her.
