| Reverse description | A richly detailed high-relief scene from the tale of Aladdin depicts a turbaned sultan figure in elaborate robes and pearl necklaces dominating the left foreground, his hands outstretched in a commanding gesture. To the right, against a stone-walled backdrop, a young boy — Aladdin — emerges from a subterranean opening, extending the magic lamp upward toward the sultan. A stylised genie motif rises from the lamp in the middle ground. The legend 'ALADDIN AND THE MAGIC LAMP' is incused along the upper periphery, with the date '2017' and the fineness mark '1 OZ AG .999' inscribed in the lower field. |
