| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from 'The Great Flood' fresco by Michelangelo, as painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. The scene depicts groups of figures struggling amid rising floodwaters, rendered with rich polychrome color printing faithful to the original fresco palette. Michelangelo's signature appears in the lower right of the composition. The entire reverse surface is occupied by the artwork, presented within a rectangular format consistent with the coin's shape. |
