| Reverse description | The entire rectangular surface of the reverse is covered by a full-colour reproduction of the celebrated Orientalist painting 'The Cactus Friend' by Carl Spitzweg (1846), applied by a colour-printing technique. The scene depicts an elderly monk in a brown habit and white nightcap, tenderly cradling a potted cactus plant in a sunlit Mediterranean courtyard. Additional potted succulents and cacti are arranged in the foreground, while a wrought-iron gate, stone wall, and lush garden foliage fill the background. The image faithfully reproduces the warm tones and intimate atmosphere of the original oil painting, occupying the full field of the coin without additional lettering or border. |
