| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate high-relief sculptural composition depicting a group of intertwined nude figures rendered in a classical artistic style reminiscent of Renaissance or Baroque allegorical sculpture, their bodies entwined in an expression of sensual abandon filling the entire field. The figures are modelled with exceptional anatomical detail, their forms flowing across the coin's surface in a swirling, dynamic arrangement against a subtly striated background suggesting motion or drapery. The composition is thematically conceived as a personification of Lust, one of the seven deadly sins. The artist's signature Lust appears in flowing script at the lower centre of the field. The antique finish enhances the dramatic chiaroscuro effect of the deep relief engraving. |
