Designs

The obverse of the round shows Mary in left-profile relief, a halo circling her head, as she gently holds baby Jesus in her hands. Through the medieval and Renaissance eras, artists such as Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo produced famous versions of the Madonna and Child, combining religious symbolism with human warmth. The reverse features fir branches along the top framing a single ornament hanging at the center.

History

The earliest depictions of the Madonna and Child date back to the 4th and 5th centuries, first seen in Roman catacombs and later in Byzantine church settings. These images served as both devotional works and theological statements, highlighting Marys title of Theotokos and affirming Christs dual nature.
