| Reverse description | A detailed polychrome depiction of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with applied color. The lighthouse is shown as a monumental multi-tiered stone tower rising from a colonnaded base set upon rocky foundations, with turbulent ocean waves rendered in vivid blue and green enamel coloring surrounding the lower register. A statue of a figure with outstretched arm crowns the summit of the lantern tower. The curved legend THE LIGHTHOUSE OF ALEXANDRIA arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2009 at the lower right and a small series logo at the lower left, all in Latin characters. |
