| Obverse description | High-relief rendering of Rogier van der Weyden's painting 'The Descent from the Cross' (c. 1435), depicting multiple figures lowering the limp body of Christ from the cross, with mourning figures gathered in the field. The composition faithfully reproduces the crowded, emotionally charged scene of the original altarpiece, with the cross visible in the upper background. |
