| Reverse description | Central cameo reproducing Diego Velázquez's celebrated painting 'Apollo in the Forge of Vulcan,' depicted in high relief. The composition shows the radiate god Apollo, crowned with laurel, visiting the forge of Vulcan and delivering news of Venus's infidelity with Mars, while the muscular forge-workers react with expressions of astonishment. The scene is faithfully rendered in the Baroque figurative style characteristic of Velázquez. The peripheral legend reads CULTURA Y NATURALEZA and the denomination 10000 PTAS is prominently inscribed in the field. |
