| Obverse description | Dynamic scene depicting the Archangel Raphael assisting the young Tobias in drawing a large fish from the water, rendered in high relief with expressive Baroque figural style. The winged angel hovers above Tobias, who kneels at the water's edge grasping the fish, with turbulent waves filling the lower field. The inscription TOBIAS. CA. 5. appears in the exergue, referencing the fifth chapter of the Book of Tobit, providing a biblical context to the depicted narrative. |
