| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed adaptation of Johannes Vermeer's painting, depicting a seated woman bent attentively over a writing desk or lacemaking work, rendered in high relief with carefully modeled drapery and figural detail. The denominational inscription 20 EURO appears in the right field, with the Rome mint mark R positioned below it. The curved legend EUROPA DELLE ARTI encircles the upper and left portions of the design, referencing the European arts series to which this coin belongs. The attribution J. VERMEER is inscribed along the lower rim, identifying the Dutch Golden Age master whose work inspired the composition. The overall design reflects the refined engraving tradition of the Zecca di Roma. |
