| Reverse description | The reverse presents a left-facing bust of Franz Grillparzer, the celebrated Austrian playwright, occupying the left portion of the field, rendered in a naturalistic portrait style with fine hair and coat detail. Behind and to the right, a detailed architectural elevation of the Burgtheater in Vienna is depicted, showing its distinctive Neo-Baroque facade with arched windows, columns, and sculptural ornamentation. The legend 'BURGTHEATER WIEN' arcs along the upper rim, while 'F. GRILLPARZER' curves along the lower periphery. The engraver's signature 'A. ZIERLER' appears in small lettering near the truncation of the bust. The composition effectively juxtaposes the portrait with the iconic building associated with Grillparzer's dramatic works. |
