| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, deeply struck high-relief depiction of a falcon in dynamic mid-flight, its wings spread wide and talons extended, rendered with exceptional feather detail by engraver P. De Greef. The bird dominates the upper field, its head turned sharply to the left with beak open, conveying power and movement. In the lower field, a detailed architectural landscape featuring Gothic-style buildings and lush foliage occupies the background, set against a colored sky graduating from deep blue to teal. The inscription FALCON appears in the upper left field, while the engraver's signature P. De Greef is incused in the lower center, accompanied by a monogram in the lower right field. |
