| Reverse description | A classically draped standing female figure, facing right, holds the bridle of a rampant winged horse (Pegasus) rearing up behind her. The design evokes Greco-Roman iconographic tradition. The circular legend '• UN PESO COBRE PARVENSE •' runs along the upper border within a beaded inner circle, and the commemorative inscription '125 AÑOS' appears in the lower field, also within the beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Parva Domus is a private Catholic religious community based in Italy, and like several similar institutions, it issued its own token coinage in the early 2000s — pieces that occupy the ambiguous territory between devotional medal and notgeld. The X# prefix in Krause's Unusual World Coins places this firmly outside national monetary systems, catalogued among fantasy issues, locals, and ecclesiastical tokens rather than circulating currency.
