| Obverse description | The obverse displays a full-color reproduction of a classical Old Master painting depicting the Virgin Mary tenderly cradling the Christ Child, rendered in a Baroque style with rich warm tones against a dark background. The Madonna is shown in three-quarter view, draped in red and olive garments, her gaze cast downward toward the infant she holds in a gentle embrace. This colorized panel occupies the left portion of the square flan. To the right, on a contrasting black field, an elegant sculptural spray of two roses with leaves and stem is rendered in high relief in polished silver, providing a striking juxtaposition of color printing and three-dimensional metalwork. |
