| Reverse description | A detailed reproduction of a section of the Beethoven Frieze, the monumental allegorical painting created by Austrian Symbolist artist Gustav Klimt in 1901 for the Vienna Secession exhibition. The design features Klimt's characteristic ornamental figures rendered in high relief against the mirror-polished field, incorporating sinuous female forms and elaborate decorative patterning. An inlaid amber insert appears at the left side of the composition, adding a distinctive translucent warm-toned element that enriches the artistic design. The artist's name GUSTAV KLIMT is inscribed in the field. The mint mark MW of the Mint of Poland appears on the reverse. |
