| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from Sandro Botticelli's painting The Mystic Nativity (c. 1500-1501), depicting a rustic stable structure with a thatched roof set against a wooded landscape. The scene is rendered in rich polychrome enamel applied directly to the silver surface, faithfully reproducing the tempera palette and compositional elements of the original work housed in the National Gallery, London. This piece constitutes the ninth panel in a series of fifteen coins collectively forming the complete painted composition. |
