| Obverse description | High-relief depiction after Federico Barocci's 1597 painting of the Nativity, showing the Virgin Mary standing to the left with a halo, gazing down at the infant Christ lying in a manger at centre. An ox appears at right, and engraver's initials 'JZ' are visible in the lower field. The polished proof-like background creates a strong contrast with the sculptural relief. |
