This gold commemorative coin is part of Austria’s renowned series dedicated to the art of Gustav Klimt, featuring the iconic motif Judith II (Salome). The obverse presents a stylized portrait inspired by Klimt’s expressive, sensual visual language, while the reverse depicts a female allegorical figure rendered in flowing lines and ornamental patterns characteristic of Viennese Art Nouveau. The coin translates Klimt’s exploration of femininity, power, and symbolism into refined medallic relief, merging fine art with numismatic craftsmanship.
