| Reverse description | The reverse bears a portrait of the celebrated Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan depicted in semi-profile with eyes closed, captured in the act of conducting, conveying intense musical concentration. Behind the effigy, a passage from the score of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is rendered in the field as a decorative background element. The inscription 'HERBERT VON KARAJAN' appears as a caption below the portrait, flanked by his birth year '1908' and death year '1989', with the issue date '2008' also present in the legend. The composition reflects a vintage artistic sensibility, giving the portrait a timeless, commemorative quality. The design was engraved by Thomas Pesendorfer. |
