| Reverse description | A full-colour reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's painting 'Two Crabs' (1889) fills the square field, enclosed within a decorative gold-coloured ornamental frame with scrollwork. The composition depicts two crabs rendered in Van Gogh's characteristic Post-Impressionist style, with bold, expressive brushstrokes in warm orange, red, and ochre tones set against a vibrant turquoise-green background. The larger crab is shown upturned in the upper left, displaying its underside, while a smaller crab crouches in the lower right. The colour printing is applied directly to the coin surface, faithfully reproducing the texture and palette of the original oil painting. |
