| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a panoramic view of Timișoara's historic cityscape, showing a sweeping low-relief scene of period buildings and church spires set against an open sky, evoking the city's late nineteenth-century urban character. Arranged in a circular legend around the upper and lateral border is the inscription 'TIMIȘOARA – PRIMUL ORAȘ EUROPEAN ILUMINAT ELECTRIC', referencing the city's historic distinction as the first European city illuminated by electric street lighting. The year '1884', commemorating the date of that achievement, is prominently displayed in large numerals in the lower central field. The design is rendered in a clean proof finish with polished fields and frosted devices. |
