Reverse
In the bottom right-hand corner of the coin’s reverse side, we see a profile of the poet while offering a laurel branch to Laura, whose figure “angelic in form” appears with her hair “scattered like an aura” stirred by a light breeze. The image is expressive and leads us back to the notion of idealised eternal love, expressed several times by Petrarch in the Canzoniere collection of poems, one of the most important works of Italian literature.
