| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-quarter facing bust portrait of Dimitrie Cantemir, the Moldavian prince and polymath, depicted in period attire consisting of armor with decorative shoulder plates and an elaborately knotted cravat, his long curled wig rendered in fine detail. The portrait occupies the central and lower field of the coin. Along the upper rim, the legend arcs reading '26 octombrie 1673 · 21 august 1723', recording his birth and death dates. The name 'DIMITRIE CANTEMIR' is inscribed in bold relief along the lower rim. Decorative foliate sprigs flank the portrait on both sides, enhancing the baroque character of the composition. |
