| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two figures adapted from Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1563 engraving 'The Fight Between the Moneybags and the Strongboxes': a stout male figure leaning over an open chest at left, and a seated female figure at right, with a jug placed beside her. The scene is faithfully rendered in a fine engraved style evoking Bruegel's original composition. An ornamental foliate cartouche frames the lower portion of the design. The curved legend P. BRUEGEL THE ELDER arcs along the upper rim, and the commemorative dates 1569 and 2019, separated by a dagger symbol denoting the year of death, appear in the upper field. |
