| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces a detailed scene adapted from a 13th-century French illuminated manuscript depicting the Judgement of Solomon. At the centre, a crowned king seated on an ornate throne holds a sceptre in his left hand while raising his right in judgement; to his right a helmeted soldier raises a sword over a swaddled infant. To the left, two kneeling female figures — the two mothers — plead before the king, one reaching forward imploringly. The composition faithfully renders the Gothic linear style of the French medieval original, with fine engraved drapery throughout. |
