| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a gilt rendition of the Baroque sculptural group 'The Baptism of Christ' by Maltese-born sculptor Giuseppe Mazzuoli (1644–1725), showing Christ kneeling before Saint John the Baptist who pours water over his head, both figures rendered in dynamic Baroque style atop a rocky base. The sculptural group is centrally placed against a deeply mirrored proof field. The upper legend reads 'THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST • GIUSEPPE MAZZUOLI • 1644-1725', while the denomination '10 EURO' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative floral ornaments. The mint mark 'NGB' is inscribed below the sculptural group. |
