| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the mythological figures of Aphrodite and Adonis standing together in the nude, rendered in high relief against a richly detailed background. Aphrodite holds a flower while Adonis bears a spear, the two figures shown in an intimate composition evoking classical Greco-Roman artistic tradition. A swan (Cygnus sp.) is present at the left of the composition, symbolically associated with Aphrodite, while a dog (Canis lupus familiaris) appears at the right, an attribute commonly linked to the hunting pursuits of Adonis. The date 2023 appears in the field. |
