| Reverse description | A detailed cartographic rendering of Europe fills the reverse field, tracing the historic Amber Route from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic. Eight cities along the route — Kaliningrad, Gdansk, Elblag, Wroclaw, Stare Hradisko, Carnuntum, Szombathely, and Aquileia — are individually marked, each highlighted by a smaller genuine amber inlay, while a larger central amber insert dominates the composition. The amber inlays are natural inclusions, lending the coin a distinctive archaeological and artistic character. The city names are inscribed in Latin script around the respective positions on the map. |
