| Reverse description | Colorized reproduction of the central detail from Raphael Sanzio's painting Madonna of the Goldfinch (La Madonna del Cardellino), executed circa 1505–1506, depicting the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and the infant Saint John the Baptist, both looking upward. Two angels are depicted at the lower portion of the design. The composition faithfully renders the Renaissance painterly style of Raphael, with rich polychrome coloring applied to the coin's surface. The artist's name and life dates appear as a legend across the design. |
