The date '2014' appears in the lower field beneath the portrait, with the inscriptions '80 g' and '.999 FINE SILVER' flanking it along the lower arc.

| Reverse description | Rectangular proof field bearing a full-color reproduction of a detail from Raphael's celebrated altarpiece the Sistine Madonna (c. 1512), constituting the eighth panel of a twelve-part series. The image depicts a female figure, rendered in the High Renaissance manner, shown in three-quarter view with her gaze directed downward in a contemplative expression. She is attired in richly colored robes of orange, blue, and green, with her arms drawn across her body. The composition faithfully reproduces the warm, luminous palette and idealized figural style characteristic of Raphael's Roman period. No inscriptions appear in the reverse field. |
