| Reverse description | A richly detailed, fully colored scene depicting three Hesperides nymphs, the guardians of the mythological Garden of the Hesperides, attending the sacred tree bearing the golden apples of immortality. The nymphs are rendered in flowing classical drapery amid lush foliage, flowers, and golden fruit, evoking the style of classical mythology illustration. The composition fills the entire reverse field with intricate relief work and vivid polychrome enamel coloring, creating a deeply pictorial effect characteristic of high-end modern collector coinage. |
