| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the biblical scene of the prophet Elijah ascending to heaven in a chariot of fire drawn by horses of fire, rendered in a dynamic, dramatic artistic style. In the lower left of the field, the prophet Elisha is shown in an attitude of astonishment as he witnesses the miraculous departure of his master. The composition fills the coin's field with swirling, flame-like forms, conveying the supernatural energy of the whirlwind. The scene draws directly from the narrative of 2 Kings 2:11, with no additional inscriptions on this side. |
