| Reverse description | Central device depicting the Madonna and Child, adapted from the celebrated devotional painting by the Venetian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini. The composition presents the Virgin Mary in a three-quarter pose cradling the Christ Child, faithfully rendered in fine relief. The legend ONE PA`ANGA curves along the upper portion of the coin, while the word CHRISTMAS appears in the lower field, both legends contained within the heptagonal format. The smooth field frames the artistic motif, lending the design a devotional, commemorative character appropriate to its Christmas issue context. |
