| Reverse description | A full-color reproduction of the central detail from Filippino Lippi's late 15th-century painting 'Virgin and Child with Angels' fills the inner field, faithfully rendering the Madonna cradling the Christ Child and attended by angels in Renaissance style. The image is framed by a decorative laurel or olive wreath that encircles the painted scene, separating it from the coin's polished border. The vibrant chromatic application contrasts with the proof-quality mirrored fields surrounding the wreath. The composition captures the gentle, devotional quality characteristic of Florentine quattrocento panel painting. |
