| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly stylised, sculptural portrait bust of Swiss humanitarian and Red Cross founder Henry Dunant, facing slightly right, rendered in a bold relief technique that evokes the texture of carved stone or rough-hewn rock. The subject is depicted with a prominent full beard and deeply modelled facial features. The legend 'HENRY' curves along the left field and 'DUNANT' along the right field in bold sans-serif lettering. The engraver's signature 'BARMAN' appears in small characters at the lower right, near the rim. |
