| Reverse description | A three-quarter-length portrait of the Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach, depicted in period attire including a powdered wig and formal coat, dominates the right portion of the field. To the left, a detailed engraving of a historic cityscape — evoking the town of Erfurt or Leipzig associated with Bach — is rendered in the background, while a manuscript excerpt of a music score is inscribed across the lower left field. In the foreground, the outline of a lute or viol silhouette frames Bach's crowned monogram. The upper legend arcs JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH with the dates 1685–1750, and the year of issue 2014 appears in the lower left field. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
