| Reverse description | A highly detailed architectural rendering of the legendary Tower of Babel occupies the rectangular field, depicted as a monumental multi-storied ziggurat-style structure combining classical, Gothic, and modern architectural elements. The composition includes an arched Gothic doorway at lower right, a round decorative window or rosette on the upper facade, staircases ascending toward the tower's summit, and scaffolding-like structural elements in the upper background suggesting ongoing construction. A smaller medieval castle turret appears at the lower left, adding depth and narrative context to the scene. The vertical legend 'TOWER OF BABEL' is inscribed along the right border of the field. |
