| Reverse description | A finely detailed portrait of Johannes Gutenberg, bearded and wearing a brimmed cap, is rendered in high relief at center, his gaze directed slightly upward. He holds a copy of the Biblia Sacra Latina in his right hand, with the title legible on the book's cover. To his left, a detailed scene depicts a period printing press in operation, with a figure operating the press in the middle ground. The entire field background is covered with enlarged Gothic blackletter typeface characters, evoking Gutenberg's revolutionary contribution to moveable-type printing. The legend JOHANNES GUTENBERG, rendered in a Gothic blackletter script, appears in a recessed cartouche at the lower center, with the engraver's initials JI inscribed below the portrait. |
