| Reverse description | A colorized reproduction of Gustav Klimt's painting Hope II (1907–1908) dominates the reverse, rendered in rich polychrome detail characteristic of Klimt's Symbolist and Art Nouveau style. The composition depicts a pregnant female figure with downcast head, surrounded by ornamental patterning and flanked by subsidiary figures below. An amber-colored insert is positioned at the left side of the design, adding a three-dimensional gemstone effect. The artist's name GUSTAV KLIMT is inscribed in the field. The overall treatment faithfully captures the gilded decorative motifs and expressive symbolism of the original masterwork. |
