Reverse description The reverse bears a full-color reproduction of Michelangelo's fresco 'The Drunkenness of Noah' from the Sistine Chapel ceiling, rendered across the entire rectangular field of the coin. The scene depicts the recumbent, semi-nude figure of Noah surrounded by his sons, one of whom approaches from the left in a stooped posture while two others stand draped at the right, covering their father. A wine jug is visible in the lower left of the composition. The artist's cursive signature MICHELANGELO appears in white script across the lower right of the image, faithfully evoking the Renaissance masterwork.
