| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed, partially coloured high-relief depiction of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, shown as a nude female figure with elaborately curled hair adorned with a floral ornament, her eyes closed in serene repose. She is rendered in antique silver finish against a vivid blue coloured field evoking the sea, surrounded by ghostly aquatic plant forms and drifting sea creatures. She wears an ornate jewelled necklace and a decorative waist girdle, and holds a small scallop shell in her left hand, referencing the classical myth of her birth from the sea foam. The composition is framed by a reeded border, and the date 2024 appears discretely in the lower right portion of the field. |
