| Obverse description | The central field features a composite relief of three Renaissance masterworks: Botticelli's 'The Birth of Venus' prominently in the center, Michelangelo's 'David' in bust form to the left, and the hands from 'The Creation of Adam' arching above, with Da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' depicted to the right. The circumscribed legend names the three artists, with the dates 1440–1550 rendered in the lower field within an oval exergue. |
