| Reverse description | The reverse displays a richly colored depiction of a central figure, interpreted as Christ the Savior or a prophet, seated and robed in blue and red garments, raising one hand in a gesture of authority while holding a book in the other, accompanied by a haloed angel in red to the right and a white beast at left. Seven hanging lamps are arranged in an arc above the central scene, set within a circular inner field framed by a vivid multicolored border populated with figures of elders and apocalyptic beings, all rendered in a polychrome color application inspired by medieval illuminated manuscript tradition. The inscription APOCALYPSE arcs around the outer border, with the fineness mark Ag 925 appearing in the lower exergue. |
