Reverse description The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief depiction of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with the corpus of Christ rendered in three-quarter relief against the vertical beam of a cross that spans the full height of the cross-shaped flan. Christ is shown with head inclined, wearing a loincloth, his arms outstretched along the horizontal arm of the cross. The field surrounding the figure is engraved with an intricate feather or leaf pattern providing a textured background. The legend CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST is inscribed vertically along the left field, and the date 2016 appears in the lower exergue.
