Reverse description At right, an intaglio vignette of a woman harvesting coffee berries from a laden branch dominates the composition, set against an expansive agricultural landscape of cultivated fields with traditional thatched huts in the middle ground. Mount Kenya rises in the background in a multicolour underprint of blue and purple, with guilloche borders running along both vertical edges.
