| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed color reproduction of the Crucifixion panel from the Isenheim Altarpiece, painted by Matthias Grünewald circa 1515. The scene depicts Christ on the cross in dramatic Gothic expressionist style, rendered in vivid polychrome enamel applied directly to the coin surface. The Roman numeral 'XII' appears as a legend on the reverse field, likely referencing the panel's catalogue designation within the altarpiece. The composition faithfully captures Grünewald's characteristic elongated figure, crown of thorns, and emotionally intense surrounding figures including the Virgin Mary, Saint John, and Mary Magdalene. |
