Depicts the official seal of the University of Perugia, surrounded by the country name.

The official seal of the university portraits Saint Herculan, one of the saint patrons, and the rampant crowned griffin, which is the city symbol: they represent the ecclesiastical and civil powers, respectively, which gave rise to the university in the Middle Ages.

Depicts a square stone tile with a Middle-age inscription, that closed the niche where the documents of the university's foundation were conserved; on top “1308” and “2008”; below, the mintmark “R”, the coin's value “EURO 10” and the name of the designer “L. DE SIMONI”; left and right, respectively, “UNIVERSITA’” and “DI PERUGIA”.
