| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's painting 'Vase with Six Sunflowers' (1888) rendered across the entire rectangular flan. The composition depicts a green ceramic vase containing five sunflowers in varying stages of bloom, set against a vivid deep blue background. The flowers are portrayed in Van Gogh's characteristic impasto style, with bold, expressive brushwork conveyed through the color printing technique. The image fills the entire reverse field to the smooth milled border, with no additional legends or inscriptions present. |
