| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, high-relief bust of Queen Nefertiti facing right, closely modelled after the celebrated painted limestone bust discovered at Amarna and now held in the Neues Museum, Berlin. The queen is depicted wearing her characteristic flat-topped blue crown with a broad diadem band decorated with a geometric pattern, and adorned with an ornate broad collar necklace at the truncation. The portrait occupies the majority of the field against a deeply mirrored proof background, with no legend or inscription, allowing the sculptural effigy to dominate. A continuous beaded border frames the design at the rim. |
