| Reverse description | The reverse features a self-portrait of the Baroque painter Mattia Preti (1613–1699) positioned prominently in the field, accompanied by a detail from one of his works depicting St John the Baptist. The composition reflects the dramatic chiaroscuro style characteristic of Preti's painting. The legend 'MATTIA PRETI' flanked by bullet points arcs across the upper portion of the field, with his birth and death years '1613 - 1699' inscribed below. The denomination 'Lm5' appears in the lower field, completing the commemorative design issued on the tercentenary of the artist's death. |
