The reverse of the first Silver bar features Johannes Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring", reproduced in delicate colour and framed by finely engraved silver borders. The young woman's luminous face, blue and golden headscarf, and iconic pearl emerge from the deep darkness of the background with extraordinary intimacy, preserving the quiet mystery and timeless charm that made the painting one of the most beloved portraits in art history. The reverse of the second Silver bar presents Raphael's cherubs from "Sistine Madonna", shown in a horizontal composition that highlights their dreamy expressions and gentle presence. Rendered in soft colour and subtle engraving, the two angels capture a moment of innocent contemplation, turning one of the most recognizable details of Renaissance art into a tender miniature tribute. The reverse of the third Silver bar depicts Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper", translated into silver with careful attention to atmosphere and composition. The long table, gathered apostles, and central figure of Christ retain the solemn rhythm and spiritual gravity of the original fresco, while the muted tones and engraved framing lend the piece the character of a sacred image preserved through time. The reverse of the fourth Silver bar is dedicated to Raphael's "Sistine Madonna", showing the Madonna and Child elevated on clouds, accompanied by saints and framed by drapery. The composition conveys serenity, reverence, and celestial grace, while the detailed colour application preserves the harmony and balance of Raphael's Renaissance vision. The obverse, identical on all four bars, features a symbolic artistic motif showing the act of creation and engraving, executed in a refined monochrome style. On the obverse, also the inscriptions: "1/2 oz Ag .999 Fine Silver" - the weight and fineness of the Silver.
