| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-color reproduction of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel fresco 'The Creation of the Sun, Moon and Plants,' depicting God the Father robed in flowing crimson drapery, gesturing powerfully to his right as he commands the celestial bodies into existence. A radiant golden sun dominates the upper left of the composition, while attendant figures are visible amid swirling garments in the center field. The vivid polychrome coloring faithfully renders the tones of the original Renaissance fresco. In the lower right corner, Michelangelo's cursive autograph signature appears in white script. The entire scene is set within a rectangular format with a plain silver border. |
