| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of Albrecht Dürer's masterwork 'Adoration of the Trinity' (1511), also known as the Landauer Altarpiece, depicted within a rectangular central panel set against a milled field decorated with a repeating stylized monogram motif. The composition shows the Holy Trinity at the apex — God the Father enthroned supporting the crucified Christ, with the Holy Spirit as a dove — surrounded by a heavenly host of angels, saints, martyrs, and ecclesiastical and secular figures in adoration. At the top of the coin, above the color insert panel, an amber gemstone insert is set within an ornate foliate silver mount. A cartouche at the base of the reverse bears the artist's name ALBRECHT DÜRER and his life dates 1471–1528 in serif lettering. |
