| Reverse description | The reverse, shaped as a bust silhouette of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII in right-facing profile, presents a richly colored effigy rendered in a stylized ancient Egyptian artistic convention. Cleopatra is depicted wearing a tripartite headdress with a colorful striped nemes cloth in teal, red, and white, surmounted by a uraeus serpent crown with cobalt blue and gold coloring. Her eye is dramatically rendered with characteristic ancient Egyptian kohl lining in deep blue, and her lips are accented in red. She wears an elaborately detailed broad collar necklace (usekh) decorated with repeating geometric motifs in teal, red, silver, and gold. A large falcon-wing element extends to the left, and a long, multi-striped wig with black, red, and teal coloring cascades behind her. The date '2019' appears in the lower exergue. |
