In the background is the Holy Door, an element closely linked to Jubilee Years. The inscription “CITTÀ DEL VATICANO” (Vatican City), the value “50 EURO,” and the date alongside “IVBILAEVM 2025” frame the scene, underscoring its spiritual significance.
It displays the pontifical coat of arms with the mitre, the crossed keys, and the central IHS emblem radiating light.
