| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a charming winter Christmas scene in a naïve illustrative style. Two rounded snowmen stand together in the lower central field, gazing upward toward a starry night sky dominated by a large eight-pointed star and a shooting star in the upper field. Snow-covered conifer trees flank the composition on both sides. Scattered stars and snowflakes rendered as raised pellets fill the background field. The legend KERSTMIS 1996 curves along the lower rim. |
