| Reverse description | The reverse is designed to evoke a classical wax seal, with a deeply recessed circular medallion at center set against a darkened antiqued field. Within the medallion, a finely detailed high-relief bust of Ludwig van Beethoven is depicted facing slightly left, rendered in a Romantic portrait style with characteristic wild, flowing hair and an intense, brooding expression. The composer is shown in period dress with a cravat and coat collar. A cursive facsimile signature reading 'Ludwig van Beethoven' is incised in the left field of the medallion. The surrounding irregular scalloped border of the planchet is given a contrasting satin finish, evoking the spread of molten sealing wax. |
