| Reverse description | A detailed, highly engraved scene depicts the biblical Tower of Babel rising dramatically at center, rendered as a massive multi-tiered circular ziggurat with workers and construction activity visible at its base and surrounding landscape. To the right stands a Mesopotamian king or overseer figure in traditional ancient Near Eastern robes, portrayed in high relief. Along the left rim, characters from various ancient scripts are engraved, symbolizing the confusion of languages described in Genesis. A color-applied cloud in blue enamel appears in the upper right field. The legend TOWER OF BABEL arcs along the lower rim, with the date 2016 inscribed at the bottom of the inner field. |
