| Reverse description | The reverse of this square antiqued coin presents a full-field, high-relief reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's oil painting 'Head of a Peasant Woman with White Cap' (1885, Nuenen period), depicting the bust of a peasant woman facing three-quarters left against a dark ground. The subject wears a white cap tied beneath the chin and a dark jacket with a white collar, her weathered face rendered with expressive, textured brushstroke-like relief. The composition fills the entire square planchet, with the characteristic impasto technique of the original work translated into the coin's sculpted surface. The antiqued silver-plated copper finish lends the design a tonal depth consistent with van Gogh's sombre Nuenen palette. |
