| Reverse description | A highly detailed, engraving-style scene depicts the biblical narrative of Jonah being expelled from the mouth of a great whale onto a rocky shore. The muscular figure of Jonah is shown emerging forward, partially draped, in a dynamic pose, while the whale's open jaws and coiled body dominate the right side of the composition. In the upper field, a sailing vessel is visible on the sea horizon, with birds in flight above, and lightning strikes frame the background. A small blue-enamelled figure of a fish or whale appears at the lower left, serving as the series' coloured insert. The date '2015' is inscribed in the lower central field, and the legend 'JONAH AND THE WHALE' arcs along the lower rim. |
