Reverse description Colorized reproduction of Gustav Klimt's celebrated 1907–1908 oil painting 'The Kiss', rendered across the full rectangular surface of the coin in vivid gold-tone color printing. The composition depicts two entwined figures kneeling at the edge of a floral precipice, the dominant figure draped in a richly ornamented gold robe adorned with geometric and floral motifs characteristic of Klimt's Symbolist-Art Nouveau style. The lavish gold background, rendered in intricate swirling and mosaic-like detail, fills the field. The iris gold finishing technique imparts a warm, luminous quality to the surface, faithfully capturing the opulence of the original masterwork.
