Comment

The traditional image of the dove could not be missing in a peace speech. A dove that runs around the round of the coin and seems to turn to look at itself and its feathered tail. A dove that does not fly and is not still, but is about to take flight, like peace, to whose definitive advent the author's wish and imagination turn.
