| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of the Renaissance painting 'Madonna and Child Enthroned in the Clouds,' depicting the Virgin Mary seated on clouds and draped in a deep blue mantle over a red garment, cradling the Christ Child in her arms. Four winged putti surround the central figures: the lower pair present instruments of the Passion including a crown of thorns and a cross, while the upper pair flank the Madonna in adoration among billowing clouds. The central devotional scene is enclosed within a richly ornamented gold-plated border of high-relief acanthus leaves, thistles, pinecones, and floral motifs, giving the composition the appearance of an elaborate gilded picture frame. |
