A tribute to the timeless genius of Michelangelo: from the fingers of God and Adam touching in the masterpiece of Creation, to the portrait of the artist, to the splendid floor decoration of Piazza del Campidoglio, every detail celebrates and exalts the most accomplished Italian artist of the Renaissance.

Obverse: In the centre, the portrait of Michelangelo kept at the Casa Buonarroti Museum. In the background, the pattern characterising the pavement of Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome, by Michelangelo. Arch-shaped, top and bottom, the inscription “REPUBBLICA ITALIANA”. On the right, the signature of the designer “U.PERNAZZA”.

Reverse: In the centre, the detail of the hands of the Creation of Adam, the fresco located inside the Sistine Chapel. Arch-shaped, at the top, the inscription “MICHELANGELO”. In the field, the dates “1475” and “2025”, the year of Michelangelo’s birth and the year of the coin’s issue respectively. Arch-shaped, at the bottom, the inscription “QUESTO SOL M’ARDE E QUESTO M’INNAMORA” (this sun burns me, and this makes me fall in love). At the bottom “5 EURO”, the coin’s value. On the left “R”, identifying the Mint of Rome.
