| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of a Renaissance portrait bust of Simonetta Vespucci, depicted in left-facing profile after the painting attributed to Piero di Cosimo. The subject's elaborately braided auburn hair is adorned with lustrous pearls and gold filigree, while a serpent coils around her neck and décolletage in allusion to classical iconography. The uncolored silver left portion of the field contrasts dramatically with the richly colored painted area occupying the right half of the design. The curved legend SIMONETTA VESPUCCI arcs along the left field in raised silver lettering. |
