| Reverse description | Rectangular gold-toned relief planchet depicting a scene inspired by Gustave Doré's engravings for Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Two standing figures — Dante and his guide Virgil — are rendered in low relief in the lower centre of the composition, positioned on elevated ground amid swirling clouds. Above them, dramatically engraved diagonal striations suggest the turbulent skies and layered terrain of the Inferno, evoking the brooding Romantic aesthetic characteristic of Doré's celebrated 19th-century illustrations. |
