| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large forward-facing portrait bust of the neoclassical sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow dominates the central field, rendered in high relief. To the left, a depiction of his celebrated sculptural group of the Princesses Luise and Friederike of Prussia is shown in partial view. To the right, a prancing horse sculpture is visible in the middle ground. Along the lower register, a continuous frieze depicts figures engaged in the craft of sculpture, referencing Schadow's workshop scenes. The legend JOHANN GOTTFRIED SCHADOW arcs along the upper rim, and the birth and death years 1764–1850 appear in the exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Schadow's most consequential work — the Quadriga atop the Brandenburg Gate, completed in 1793 — was hauled off to Paris by Napoleon in 1806 as a trophy of conquest. It sat there for eight years until Prussia reclaimed it following his defeat, at which point Schadow's student Karl Friedrich Schinkel added the Iron Cross and eagle to the returning sculpture. The coin was issued to mark the 250th anniversary of Schadow's birth in Berlin.
The .625 fineness is specific to Germany's collector silver program of this period, a deliberate step down from sterling to manage production costs while retaining a silver issue.
