| Reverse description | A full-color depiction of the Orient Express steam locomotive in motion occupies the central field, rendered in vivid polychrome enamel against a silver background. The locomotive is shown crossing a viaduct bridge, billowing a large plume of dark smoke, with an autumnal landscape of red and orange foliage in the foreground. The domed silhouette of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople is visible in the background, rendered in uncolored silver relief to contrast with the colored scene. The curved legend 'HISTORY OF RAILROADS' arcs along the upper rim, while 'THE ORIENT EXPRESS' arcs along the lower rim, each flanked by five-pointed stars. |
