| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez's oil portrait 'Retrato del Cardenal Borja' (Portrait of Cardinal Borja), preserved in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Madrid. The bust-length portrait of the Cardinal is rendered in polychrome enamel, capturing Velázquez's masterful Baroque technique with subtle modeling of light and shadow on the ecclesiastical subject's face and vestments. The legend TESOROS DE MUSEOS ESPAÑOLES arcs above or around the central image, with the mint mark M, the denomination 50 EURO, and the series title inscribed in the field. The overall composition underscores the coin's role as a vehicle for celebrating Spain's Old Master artistic heritage. |
