| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic high-relief depiction of Perseus, the Greek mythological hero, in a commanding stance as he holds aloft the severed head of Medusa. His muscular, idealized form is rendered with vigorous sculptural detail, conveying strength and martial triumph. The background is animated by a swirling mass of serpents representing Medusa's famed hair, imparting a sense of turbulent movement to the composition. Selective gold plating is applied to accent Medusa's menacing visage, providing a striking contrast to the antique-finished silver ground and emphasizing Perseus' victory over the Gorgon. |
