| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief depiction of the mythical lost city of Atlantis, divided compositionally between a gilded left half and an antiqued silver right half. On the left, a powerful seated figure of Poseidon, rendered in selective gold gilding, is shown enthroned and holding an upright trident, his muscular form conveying divine authority over the seas. The right half depicts the submerged architectural grandeur of Atlantis, with multi-tiered temples, colonnaded staircases, arched gateways, and coral formations teeming with fish and a mermaid figure, all rendered in meticulous ultra-high relief. The date 2023 is inscribed on an archway within the underwater cityscape. The antiqued finish enhances the sense of depth and antiquity throughout the composition. |
