| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in full color and depicts a reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated flying machine sketches, drawn from his historical manuscripts and notebooks. The design incorporates detailed period-accurate technical drawings of an ornithopter alongside accompanying handwritten annotations in Da Vinci's characteristic mirror script. A portrait study of Leonardo da Vinci, rendered in his characteristic Renaissance style, appears in the lower right quadrant of the field. His stylized signature script appears prominently in the upper portion of the design. The overall composition evokes the aesthetic of aged parchment, imbuing the piece with a strong historical and artistic character. |
