| Reverse description | The central field presents a finely detailed depiction of the fairy tale scene from Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Ugly Duckling': a graceful adult swan is shown in profile gliding on calm water, its long neck arched downward, while a small, fluffy duckling stands at the water's edge in the foreground, gazing upward. The rendering is executed in high relief with meticulous attention to feather texture and reflections on the water's surface. The legend HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN · THE UGLY DUCKLING is inscribed along the lower and left arc of the border, and the year 1843, referencing the original publication date of the tale, appears in the upper right arc. |
