| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-color reproduction of Raphael's celebrated Renaissance fresco 'The School of Athens' (c. 1509–1511), originally painted for the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican, occupies the entire rectangular reverse field. The composition depicts a grand classical architectural setting with barrel-vaulted arches receding in perspective, within which a large assembly of ancient Greek philosophers and scholars gathers. The central figures of Plato and Aristotle are prominently rendered mid-field, surrounded by numerous identifiable philosophers engaged in discourse, study, and geometric demonstration. The vibrant polychrome coloring faithfully reproduces the tonal richness of Raphael's original composition. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The School of Athens series from the Solomon Islands mint program is one of dozens of collector-focused issues produced under license, using the islands' issuing authority as a vehicle for European-marketed numismatic products with no connection to local currency needs. The pieces are struck by private minting houses — primarily in Europe — and never circulate domestically.
Raphael completed the original fresco in the Apostolic Palace between 1509 and 1511, commissioned by Julius II as part of a broader redecoration of the papal apartments.
