| Reverse description | The brass centre depicts a detailed broadside view of the Italian ocean liner SS Andrea Doria under way, rendered in fine relief against billowing clouds of smoke rising from the ship's funnel. The copper-nickel outer ring continues the maritime scene, showing the liner's full hull profile extending into the ring, with stylized waves and rocky coastal elements in the lower field. The legend ANDREA DORIA arcs along the upper portion of the outer ring in incuse lettering, and the date 2017 appears in the lower field of the ring below the central design. |
