Reverse description Intricately detailed antiqued and selectively gold-colored design centered on a large low-relief bust of Don Quixote, bearded and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, occupying the lower half of the field. Atop the brim of the hat, a raised scenic panorama depicts Don Quixote and Sancho Panza riding on horseback across a landscape, with windmills and a circus wagon with a lion's cage visible in the background. In the upper left, a gilded medallion portrait of Dulcinea is inscribed DULCINEA and surrounded by heart motifs, while the lower field includes additional vignettes referencing episodes from Cervantes' novel, including figures near a boat and a group of onlookers. To the right of center, the title inscription DON QUIXOTE DE LA MANCHA is rendered in gilded Gothic calligraphic lettering, and the word CIRCUS appears above the wagon in the background. The entire design is framed by an ornate filigree border.
