| Reverse description | Full-color relief depiction of the iconic bicycle scene from the 1982 Universal Pictures film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. A hooded boy, rendered in fine detail with a flowing cape, rides a BMX bicycle while E.T., the extraterrestrial character, is seated in a wire basket mounted on the handlebars. The figures are portrayed in a dynamic, slightly elevated angle with meticulous coloring capturing the textures of clothing, bicycle frame, and spoked wheels. The entire composition fills the irregular shaped flan, the outline of which traces the contours of the depicted scene, creating a shaped coin that itself evokes the silhouette of the subject matter. |
