| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from 'The Tiger Hunt,' a monumental oil painting executed by Peter Paul Rubens circa 1615–1616, depicting a dramatic hunting scene with figures and a tiger rendered in Rubens's characteristic dynamic Baroque style. The image features powerful intertwined forms of hunters and the beast in violent struggle, with bold contrasts of light and shadow and rich coloration in ochres, greens, blues, and reds applied directly to the coin's silver surface. The colored scene fills the entire rectangular reverse field, bounded by a plain raised border. |
