| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from Sandro Botticelli's painting 'The Mystic Nativity' (c. 1500-1501), currently held in the National Gallery, London. The scene depicts a dramatic moment from the allegorical composition, featuring angelic and human figures set against a luminous blue sky with olive branches and ribbon-bearing angels. The vivid polychrome printing faithfully captures the tempera style and iconographic symbolism of the original Renaissance masterwork. This coin represents the fifth panel in a series of fifteen issued to honor the complete painting. |
