| Reverse description | A stylized portrait of the German poet Heinrich Heine occupies the central field, rendered in a modern artistic style. The background of the field is engraved with stanzas from his celebrated poem 'Die Loreley', creating a visually layered composition. The legend 'HEINRICH HEINE' arcs prominently across the upper portion of the coin, flanked by his birth year '1797*' and death year '+1856'. Below, a quotation attributed to Heine — 'Eh bien, cet homme c'est moi' — appears in the lower field as an inscription in French. |
