| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief effigy of Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, music, and poetry, shown as a muscular laureate male figure facing slightly left, his long hair flowing freely. He holds a gilded lyre — rendered in selective gold gilding — in his right hand, its ornate frame and strings highlighted in vivid contrast against the antique-finished silver field. Smaller figures of muses or attendants appear in the background to the left, one reaching upward in a gesture of supplication or adoration, enhancing the mythological narrative. The incuse legend "APOLLO" is inscribed in bold lettering along the lower exergue, identifying the deity. The overall composition is executed in the classical sculptural tradition, with fine surface detailing and deep relief characteristic of the XXI Century Mint's artistic style. |
