| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed architectural view of the iconic iron-and-glass train shed of Antwerp Central Station, its grand arched roof of steel and glass filling the upper portion of the field in fine engraved relief. In the foreground, a vintage steam locomotive is depicted on the tracks, evoking the golden age of railway travel. Billowing clouds appear to the upper left, enhancing the sense of depth and atmosphere. The curved legend THE AGE OF IRON & GLASS - ANTWERP CENTRAL STATION arcs along the upper rim of the coin. The composition effectively captures the monumental scale and architectural grandeur of the Beaux-Arts station, completed in 1905. |
