Reverse

The reverse design of the coin features the Church of St. Joseph’s Seminary, which is intricately minted with high relief minting technique. Renowned for its ornate Baroque style architecture, the church is characterised with a curved pediment which displays an elaborate Jesuit insignia in the center of the facade, with two symmetrical bell towers on both sides of the top floor. Presented from a bottom-up perspective, the presentation immerses collectors, guiding their view along the broad flight of stairs up the magnificent church
