Verso
the back shows a representation of the tomb of Umberto II of Savoy, buried in the Abbey of Altacomba, The Abbey was founded in 1125 by Amedeo II and was restored, after having fallen into a state of neglect for a long time, by King Carlo Felice, in an unmistakable Gothic style. Umberto II wanted the royal seal to be placed in his coffin: in this way it is believed that he explicitly wanted to distinguish his dynastic heirs from the civil ones.
