| Reverse description | The reverse displays a rectangular recessed field divided into two principal areas: on the left, a framed portrait relief of Jan Matejko showing his bearded face and flowing hair in three-quarter view, signed by the engraver; to the right, a relief composition evokes one of Matejko's monumental historical paintings, with a painter's palette bearing applied color spots in red, yellow, green, and blue rendered in polychrome enamel, and a bundle of paintbrushes depicted in relief. The legend 'JAN MATEJKO' and the dates '1838–1893' appear in the lower field below the portrait, identifying the celebrated Polish historical painter being commemorated. |
