| Reverse description | A colourised pictorial composition inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Snow Queen', depicting in the lower field a horse-drawn sleigh guided by the Snow Queen, an ornately crowned figure surrounded by shards of ice and scattered diamond shapes. In the centre field, the silhouetted figures of Gerda and Kay stand facing each other in a moment of reunion, rendered in bold relief against the mirrored background. The engraver's monogram 'HR' (for Heena Rai) appears in the lower right field. The legend GOOD WILL WIN OUT OVER EVIL is inscribed in three lines across the upper field in stylised lettering. Selective colour printing in blue tones accentuates the icy winter scene. |
