| Reverse description | The reverse presents an engraved adaptation of Rembrandt van Rijn's celebrated 1634 painting 'The Binding of Isaac', rendered in fine relief across the coin's field. The composition depicts the patriarch Abraham, knife in hand, poised over the kneeling figure of his son Isaac, whose head is bowed in submission. An angel descends dynamically from the upper left, wings spread, extending a restraining hand toward Abraham to halt the sacrifice. Dramatic swirling clouds fill the background, faithfully conveying the baroque movement and chiaroscuro character of Rembrandt's original masterwork. |
