| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief scene depicts the biblical figure of Moses parting the Red Sea, rendered in an antique finish with dramatic artistic effect. Moses is shown in flowing robes, arms raised aloft while grasping a tall staff, his bearded face turned upward as towering walls of water rise on either side of a dry seabed. A small inset image in the upper left field references a classical artistic source for the composition. The legend '• THE EXODUS •' arcs along the upper right periphery, with the date '2017' inscribed vertically along the right side of the field, all punctuated by decorative bullet points. |
