| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid full-color reproduction of a dramatic hunting scene depicting a tiger hunt, rendered in the painterly style reminiscent of 19th-century Romantic art. The composition centers on a powerful horse rendered in dark tones, its head thrust forward with visible tension, surrounded by the dynamic figures of hunters and foliage rendered in warm ochre and brown hues. The color application is achieved through a printing technique applied directly to the coin's silver surface, creating a striking contrast against the metallic ground. The overall scene conveys motion and intensity characteristic of the Orientalist hunting genre. |
