| Obverse description | Highly detailed three-dimensional bust of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in high relief, rendered in an antiqued finish, depicting the composer in three-quarter facing right with period-appropriate attire including a decorative frock coat with ornate buttons and lace jabot. Mozart's powdered wig with characteristic rolled side curls is rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The bust is shaped in the silhouette profile of Mozart's head and shoulders, giving the coin its distinctive non-circular form. The surface exhibits fine artistic modeling of facial features, conveying the composer's youthful likeness consistent with 18th-century portraiture traditions. |
