| Reverse description | High-relief antiqued depiction of the biblical scene of the Three Hebrews — Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego — standing unharmed within the flames of the fiery furnace, as rendered in the style of Gustave Doré's celebrated engraving. King Nebuchadnezzar and his soldiers are shown above, gazing down in astonishment at the figures miraculously preserved amid the conflagration. The dramatic chiaroscuro composition fills the entire reverse field with intricate detail. The legend THE FIERY FURNACE is inscribed along the lower portion of the design. |
