| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief scene inspired by Gustave Doré's engraving depicting the destruction of the biblical sea monster Leviathan. The colossal serpentine creature writhes violently amid turbulent ocean waves in the lower and central field, its scaled body and gaping maw rendered with exceptional sculptural depth. Above the churning waters, rays of divine light burst through storm clouds as a commanding celestial figure descends from the upper right, brandishing a spear or sword against the beast. The antiqued silver finish heightens the chiaroscuro drama of the composition throughout the field. The inscription DESTRUCTION OF LEVIATHAN curves along the lower periphery in Roman capitals. |
