| Reverse description | A left-facing portrait bust of composer Béla Bartók dominates the field, depicted wearing a wide-brimmed hat and coat in a dignified, realistic style by engraver László Kutas, whose surname 'KUTAS' appears in small letters below the bust. Behind the portrait, a stylized relief map of the world fills the background, alluding to Bartók's international significance as an ethnomusicologist and composer. Musical notation fragments are engraved to the right of the bust, referencing his compositional output. The legend 'BARTÓK BÉLA 1881 – 1945' arcs across the upper field, giving the composer's name and life dates. |
