The design depicts in the foreground, a half-length portrait of Rita Levi-Montalcini inspired by a Manuela Fabbri’s photography; in the background, a microscope, taken from a medal designed by Gino Levi-Montalcini, brother of the well renown scientist, whose base is horseshoe shaped, as a good luck charm for the awarding of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in the 1986. Above, the arch-shaped inscription ‘RITA LEVI-MONTALCINI’; on the left ‘RI’, acronym of the Italian Republic and ‘R’, identifying the Mint of Rome; below ‘2024’, the year of the coin’s issue; on the right, ‘SP’, initials of the designer Silvia Petrassi.
