| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces in full color a detail from 'The Tiger Hunt,' a large-format oil painting executed by Peter Paul Rubens circa 1615–1616. The scene depicts a turbaned figure dressed in a vibrant orange robe, raising a lance or staff aloft amid a violent hunting scene, with additional figures partially visible in the lower field. The composition conveys dramatic Baroque movement and energy, rendered through color printing applied to the coin's surface. The color image is set within the same rectangular format as the obverse. |
