| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces a detailed, full-color rendition of William-Adolphe Bouguereau's 1878 Academic painting 'A Soul Brought to Heaven', depicting a nude male figure being borne aloft by two winged angels in a heavenly scene rendered with the artist's characteristic idealized naturalism and soft tonal gradations. The composition fills the entire coin field with the painting's imagery, framed by the coin's polished milled border. Christian devotional symbols appear at the left side of the design, complementing the religious narrative of the depicted scene. |
