| Reverse description | The reverse features a colour-printed photographic portrait of Swedish-Italian actress Anita Ekberg, reproduced within a rectangular frame styled as a vintage film photograph, evoking the aesthetic of classic Hollywood glamour photography. The portrait, attributed to Bernard of Hollywood, depicts Ekberg in a reclining pose with a warm smile, the photographer's cursive signature appearing within the lower right of the image. The arc legend HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS runs along the upper rim, flanked by five-pointed stars, with a decorative relief star motif to the right incorporating a film reel emblem. The name ANITA EKBERG is inscribed in raised letters at the base of the design, and the year 2012 appears to the lower right of the central image. |
