| Obverse description | The obverse features a highly detailed high-relief portrait effigy of Ibn Gabirol emerging from the gnarled trunk and branches of an oak tree, his bearded face turned slightly to the right within the field. Lush oak leaves and acorns surround the figure in an organic, naturalistic composition filling the entire field. The engraver's initials appear in relief at the lower left of the design. |
