Very nice coin by Christl Seth Hofner in very good condition.
Christi Seth-Höfner, originally from Austria and who took lessons from Esser, has focused her work on animals and landscapes in particular. The latter is a rarely used subject in Dutch medal art. She designed a thin, convex medal, breathing in an evening atmosphere. A shepherd with his sheep seen from the back. One thinks of the parable of the good shepherd. The pyramidal structure of the composition suggests a large flock following the shepherd. The reverse side shows a group of sheep close up from the front. Although surprisingly little detailed, the woolliness, the hanging ears and the grazing are still beautifully expressed. The hollow of the reverse side is used to powerfully emphasize the plasticity of the group of animals in the center of the plane. In this way, the obverse and reverse sides respond to each other, as if a story is being told. So that parable really is? (source VVPK)
