| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved figural composition depicting the legendary meeting of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. To the left, King Solomon stands in robes upon a stepped throne dais framed by an arched portal, with a row of recumbent lions flanking the stairway on both sides — an allusion to the biblical description of Solomon's ivory throne. Occupying the right half of the field is a large, detailed profile bust of the Queen of Sheba facing left, rendered in an ancient Near Eastern artistic style, her elaborately beaded hair and crescent-shaped necklace rendered in high relief. The composition is unlettered, relying entirely on the sculptural imagery to convey the narrative, with a plain inner field and reeded edge framing the design. |
