I don't know if you've noticed or not, but the personification of Hope with the anchor and the word SPES (meaning Hope) in the exergue is more or less a direct lift from Imperial roman coins from 2000 odd years previously. Quite a nice bit of imagery relaying the sense of eternalness of the church.

My contribution for today is the 500 Lira version of yesterdays.
