Reverse description The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of Raphael's painting known as the Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist, set within an ornate gilded frame border that encircles the entire coin face. The Virgin Mary is depicted at center in blue and green robes, her gaze cast downward with serene expression, holding an open book before the Christ Child who sits on her lap. Saint Joseph appears at the left in aged, contemplative profile, while the young Saint John the Baptist is shown at the right, partially draped in a red cloth. The composition faithfully reproduces the Renaissance masterwork's warm palette and classical figural arrangement, with the decorative laurel-and-floral gilt frame enhancing the tondo presentation.
