Reverse description The reverse is struck in high relief as a fully three-dimensional frontal human skull, with deeply recessed eye sockets rendered in contrasting darkened finish to create a striking chiaroscuro effect. The cranium is smoothly modelled with anatomical precision, the nasal cavity deeply cut, and the upper dentition clearly articulated along the jaw line. The entire surface of the reverse conforms to the skull-shaped outline of the planchet, with the antique patination accentuating the sculptural depth and enhancing the macabre artistic impact. No inscriptions appear on the reverse.
