| Reverse description | A full-colour reproduction of Franz Marc's 1911 Expressionist masterpiece 'Blaues Pferd I' (Blue Horse I) is applied as a rectangular insert at the centre of the reverse, depicting a boldly rendered blue horse standing against a vivid landscape of yellow, green, purple, and red. The central image is framed by a detailed relief of a neoclassical museum facade with arched windows, sculptural figures, and decorative architectural elements evoking a grand art gallery. The legend 'MASTERPIECES OF ART' arcs along the upper rim, the artist's name 'FRANZ MARC' appears in raised letters along the lower portion of the design, and the date '2011' is inscribed to the right within the architectural surround. |
