| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved adaptation of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1570 engraving 'The Fight between the Moneybags and the Strongboxes,' depicting two anthropomorphic figures — a moneybag and a strongbox — engaged in combat with lances in a dynamic, satirical scene rendered in high relief. The background retains the texture and detail of the original engraving, including architectural and landscape elements, with Latin inscription text reproduced in the lower field in faithful reference to the source print. The curved legend P. BRUEGEL THE ELDER arcs across the upper portion of the field, with the commemorative dates 1569 + 2019 prominently displayed in the center, marking the 450th anniversary of the artist's death. |
