| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a plague doctor in period attire dominates the centre of the reverse, rendered in antique silver finish. The figure wears a broad-brimmed hat and a long-beaked mask — the iconic beak rendered in selective gold gilding, contrasting dramatically against the darkened silver ground. The doctor's form is surrounded by a dense, macabre tableau of human skulls and skeletal remains piled throughout the field, evoking the devastation of the Black Death. The composition fills the entire coin surface to the rim, with no legends or inscriptions on the reverse, allowing the sculptural imagery to speak entirely through its artistry. The antique treatment accentuates the deep recesses and fine surface detail of the design. |
