| Reverse description | A faithful numismatic rendition of Caravaggio's masterpiece 'The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist' (1608, St. John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta) fills the central field, depicting multiple figures in dramatic chiaroscuro relief: an executioner stooping over the prostrate body of the saint, a servant woman holding a charger to receive the severed head, and attendant onlookers rendered with characteristic Baroque intensity. The denomination 10 EURO appears in the upper right field, while the legend CARAVAGGIO 1571-1610 arcs along the upper periphery. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border. |
