| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces a richly coloured detail from Gustav Klimt's celebrated Symbolist masterpiece The Kiss (1907–08), rendered in full polychrome colour printing across the entire rectangular flan. The design depicts an ornate floral meadow of swirling blossoms, spirals, and foliage in shades of gold, green, red, and blue, characteristic of Klimt's gilded Art Nouveau decorative style. The image forms part of a fifteen-piece series, with this piece representing the fourteenth segment of the complete composition. The surface treatment includes gold finishing on select elements, as noted for the Iris Gold Finishing variant. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse field. |
