Reverse description Full-color painted scene depicting a dramatic tiger hunt in the style of a classical European oil painting. A large tiger is shown recumbent in the lower portion of the composition, its head raised and turned upward toward an armored hunter who approaches from the right, wielding a spear or lance. The scene is rendered with rich painterly detail, including flowing atmospheric clouds and smoke in the background, evoking the grandeur of 17th- or 18th-century hunting imagery. The coloring technique applied to the coin's surface lends the scene a vivid, illustrative quality reminiscent of works by Rubens or Delacroix.
