| Obverse description | Central vignette shows the goddess Roma in military dress — helmeted and armored — reclined with her right arm resting on a S.P.Q.R. shield and holding a spear, raising a Winged Victory in her left hand. Two white ovals framed by oak wreaths serve as watermark windows. A red seal at top bears an allegorical "Italia turrita" figure; lower margin carries the designer credit G. CAPRANESI INV. |

| Reverse description | Central vignette presents a double-headed Roman imperial eagle surrounded by an olive-leaf wreath, symbolizing the Eastern and Western Roman Empires — an emblem prominently co-opted during the Fascist era. Above the eagle, a red circular seal bears the fascio littorio, the Etruscan-derived Roman symbol from which the term "fascismo" derives. |
