| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely modelled bust portrait of Saint Birgitta of Sweden, depicted facing slightly downward with eyes cast down in a devotional manner, wearing a nun's wimple and veil rendered in sculptural relief. A circular halo surrounds her head, emphasising her saintly status. The name 'BIRGITTA' is inscribed in bold capitals across the upper field, flanked by the birth year '1303' to the left and the commemorative year '2003' to the right, separated by raised dot stops. The engraver's initials 'EN' appear in the lower exergue below the portrait. The composition commemorates the 700th anniversary of Saint Birgitta's birth, and the restrained, icon-like artistic treatment reflects her medieval spiritual legacy. |
