| Reverse description | A colorized reproduction of a detail from Gustav Klimt's 1912 oil painting 'Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II' dominates the reverse field, rendered with vivid polychrome color printing over the struck silver surface. The subject's figure is depicted in Klimt's characteristic decorative style, featuring richly patterned garments rendered in warm tones of red, yellow, and black against an ornamental background. An amber insert is incorporated into the left portion of the design, adding a three-dimensional, translucent gemstone element consistent with the jewel-like opulence of Klimt's original composition. The artist's name GUSTAV KLIMT is inscribed in the field, serving as the sole legend on this face. |
