| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic, large-scale high-relief interpretation of the upper portion of the Venus de Milo, the celebrated ancient Greek marble sculpture housed in the Louvre. The goddess is depicted in three-quarter view, her serene face turned slightly to the right, with flowing wavy hair rendered in intricate detail. The torso, partially draped, fills the coin's field in an intimate, close-cropped composition that emphasises sculptural depth and surface texture through the antiqued finish. The surrounding field is rendered with a rough, stone-like texture evoking the aesthetic of classical antiquity. The inscription VENUS appears vertically along the left inner edge of the field. |
