| Reverse description | A full-color reproduction of the Renaissance painting Madonna with Child, Saint John and Angel by Raffaellino del Garbo occupies the central field, depicting the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, the young Saint John the Baptist, and an attendant angel rendered in rich polychrome enamel. The composition faithfully reproduces the warm tones and devotional character of the original panel painting. An ornamental wreath frames the painted scene, forming a decorative border that separates the artwork from the coin's periphery. |
