| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of Gustav Klimt's oil painting 'Portrait of a Lady' (circa 1916-17), rendered across the entire square field of the coin. The composition depicts a three-quarter bust of a young woman with dark upswept hair, pale complexion, and parted lips, turned slightly to her left, wearing a white floral-patterned garment with blue and yellow highlights. The background is rendered in deep teal and green tones with characteristic Klimt crackling texture effects faithfully reproduced in polychrome printing. The crisp raised border of the square flan frames the artwork in the manner of a picture frame, emphasizing the painterly aesthetic of the design. |
