| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of Daphne in the act of transformation into a laurel tree, taken from the celebrated marble sculptural group Apollo and Daphne by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. The design captures the dynamic Baroque energy of Bernini's masterwork, with the figure's outstretched arms rendered in high relief. The denomination 20 EURO appears to the right of the central motif, while the date 2014 and the engraver's name A. MASINI are inscribed at the lower left. The Rome Mint mark R is positioned between the arms of the Daphne figure, and the legend FLORA NELL'ARTE arcs across the field. |
