"Coin to commemorate the day of the sacred races and confirmation.

On the main page one sees the image of the divine preacher of the Lee of the Lord and founder of the holy baptism of Geiles.

Surrounded by the radiant light of the Gottheir, no human tongue utters his holy name; that's why he is only referred to by the light that surrounds him, and his earthly name has disappeared in it. The obverse shows the God-man as he, preparing, accepts his work, the baptism of which St. John went before him. Johannis, recognizing the exalted master, refuses in humility: but, instructed by words of wisdom, he follows the high call and is certain: heaven opens and the spirit descends on him who henceforth baptizes with the spirit, as the words of the inscription after the proclamation of John read: He will baptize with the Spirit. Thus, like the baptism of him who traveled the path, holy baptism consecrates us to a pure life, and should also make us worthy of the holy consecration of the Christian covenant, which at the same time through the divine teaching and the divine light of the gospel with the Spirit baptizes, and opens heaven to those who follow the light; and so St. John the Baptist and He who baptized after him with the Spirit are most exalted and most holy objects: In memory of of the two hours of our life which, next to the one when we leave it, are the most important for our salvation.
