| Reverse description | Faithful color reproduction of Caspar David Friedrich's celebrated 1818 Romantic painting 'Wanderer above the Sea of Fog', depicting a solitary male figure standing on a rocky summit and gazing out over a misty mountainous landscape. The composition fills the entire reverse field and is enhanced with sixteen applied Swarovski crystal elements that accent the atmospheric fog and scenic details. The legend 'MASTERPIECES OF ART' arcs along the upper rim, with the date '2016' and the artist's name 'CASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH' inscribed along the lower rim, all in raised Latin capitals. |
