| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a figurative scene illustrating the covenant between David and Jonathan, rendered in high relief against a plain field. To the right stands David, shown holding his harp, his traditional identifying attribute. To the left stands Jonathan, the warrior prince, with a quiver of battle arrows carried upon his back. The two figures clasp hands at center, symbolizing the solemn covenant of friendship they pledged between their souls as recorded in 1 Samuel. The composition is detailed and artistic, conveying both the historical and spiritual significance of the biblical narrative. |
