| Reverse description | The reverse presents an animated ballroom scene set within the interior of the Vienna State Opera, with its tiered box seating filled with spectators visible in the upper background. In the foreground, a formally dressed couple — the lady wearing a strapless gown with a pearl necklace and tiara, the gentleman in white-tie evening dress — walk arm in arm as debutantes and their escorts parade behind them. Fireworks or festive decoration appear to the upper right, evoking the celebratory atmosphere of the Opernball. The entire composition is struck in high relief with a proof finish and carries no peripheral legend. |
