| Reverse description | Full-colour reproduction of Quentin Matsys's 1514 Flemish oil painting 'The Moneylender and his Wife', applied to the rectangular field of the coin. The composition depicts a seated moneychanger in a dark blue tunic and black beret, attentively weighing gold coins on a balance scale, while beside him his wife, dressed in a red gown and white linen headdress, pauses from reading an illuminated manuscript to observe the transaction. A green baize-covered table in the foreground is strewn with gold coins, a decorative goblet, and a small convex mirror reflecting the surrounding interior. Shelves with various objects are visible in the background, conveying the Flemish genre tradition of moral allegory rendered with meticulous realism. |
