| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color reproduction of Swiss surrealist artist Sandro Del Prete's optical illusion artwork 'La Vie en Rose', depicting a large pink rose set within an arched architectural niche, wherein the petals of the rose conceal an embracing couple — a hallmark double-image illusion. A small label inscribed LA VIE EN ROSE is affixed at the top of the arch, with a pair of pink high-heeled shoes visible at the base. The legend ILLUSION appears incuse along the upper border, the date 2001 is inscribed in the lower left field, and the artist's facsimile signature Sandro Del Prete appears in the lower right field. |
