Around the rim runs the inscription 500 Vjetori i Statujës së Davidit, together with the denomination 50 Lekë. The reverse offers a fine architectural view of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, with its soaring tower and the surrounding square, an important cultural landmark where Michelangelo’s original David stood for centuries.
