| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized low-relief scene illustrating the biblical meeting of Jacob and Rachel at the well, as described in Genesis 29. Two robed figures face one another at center, their hands joined in greeting, rendered in a simplified, folk-art inspired style. Below them, a flowering plant and two sheep are shown in the foreground, evoking the pastoral setting of the encounter. The design fills the inner field without additional inscriptions, allowing the figurative composition to serve as the sole decorative element. The reeded rim frames the scene cleanly, consistent with the coin's proof-quality finish. |
