Reverse description The reverse evokes the French Baroque and Rococo era through three principal allegorical and historical elements. At centre, an architectural rendering of the Hall of Mirrors (Galerie des Glaces) of the Palace of Versailles is depicted, representing the grandeur of Baroque decorative arts. The figure of Louis XIV in a dancer's costume, referencing his role as the Dancing King, appears alongside a portrait of the philosopher Voltaire, emblematic of the Rococo intellectual tradition. Inscriptions identifying the depicted subjects are placed within the field.
