| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic, high-relief depiction of the Olympic equestrian show-jumping discipline, with two riders mounted on powerful horses clearing a wooden fence obstacle in the foreground. The composition is rendered with fine engraved detail, capturing the musculature of the horses and the controlled posture of the competing riders. A third horse and rider appear in vigorous motion in the upper background, adding depth and energy to the scene. The mirror-polished proof field provides strong contrast against the finely textured raised design elements. The field is otherwise unlettered, allowing the sculptural equestrian imagery to dominate the composition. |
