Reverse description The reverse presents a richly detailed allegorical composition divided between two contrasting pictorial planes. To the left, King Solomon is depicted in full figure, robed in ornate royal vestments, standing beneath an arched portal flanked by pairs of recumbent lions on stepped platforms, evoking the grandeur of his throne room as described in scripture. To the right, the Queen of Sheba is rendered in bold high relief as a close portrait in right-facing profile, adorned with an elaborate beaded crown and intricately braided jewelry, her powerful presence conveying regal authority. A smaller lion couchant is rendered in the central foreground, bridging the two compositional zones. The design employs contrasting matte and polished surfaces to dramatic artistic effect, consistent with the proof striking technique.
