| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color reproduction of the celebrated detail from Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam, painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. The scene depicts the outstretched hand of God reaching toward the languid hand of Adam, rendered in rich polychrome color against the silver field. Michelangelo's signature appears in the lower right of the composition. The vivid color printing is applied within the rectangular format of the coin, faithfully replicating the fresco's tones and artistic grandeur. |
