| Reverse description | The reverse features a raised portrait bust of Marie Curie facing three-quarters to the right, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. To the left, a color-applied laboratory Erlenmeyer flask graduated to 250 ml is depicted alongside a mass of yellow-green radioactive ore, both applied in vivid polychrome enamel. The name MARIE CURIE appears in large letters across the upper field, with the dates 1867-1934 inscribed below, and a facsimile of Curie's signature rendered in cursive across the central field. The year of issue, 2014, appears in the lower exergue. |
