| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from 'The Tiger Hunt,' the oil painting executed by Peter Paul Rubens circa 1615–1616, rendered directly onto the rectangular coin surface. The colorized scene depicts a dynamic hunting composition featuring a large feline and a horse in close combat, with richly blended tones of ochre, sienna, and grey faithfully reproducing the Baroque master's vigorous brushwork. The image is framed by a plain raised border consistent with the obverse. |
