| Reverse description | A full-length figure of the celebrated Austrian ballerina Fanny Elssler (1810–1884) is depicted in a dynamic dancing pose at center, wearing a voluminous tiered costume with floral and decorative trim; her right arm is raised gracefully overhead. The figure is rendered in high relief with fine artistic detail by engraver Fritz Tiefenthaler, and is positioned within a plain inner circle. Floral sprigs adorn the lower field on either side of the figure, and the engraver's initial 'F' appears below. The surrounding legend reads 'FANNY ELSSLER · 1984 · 100. TODESTAG · VON', commemorating the centenary of her death. |
