| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief composition depicting a surrealist 'Portal of Time' motif. The background field is styled as a distressed clock face with Roman numerals (XII at top, IX at left, VI at bottom, and III partially obscured at right) set against an antiqued silver surface. At centre, a jagged, torn portal opens to reveal a vivid coloured scene: a cosmic landscape featuring a luminous galaxy or nebula rendered in brilliant blue and teal hues, with a bright arc of light traversing a star-filled sky above a silhouetted mountain range at the lower portion of the aperture. The right side of the coin features a sculptural, crumpled or folded metallic curtain effect in high relief, creating a three-dimensional illusion of the coin's surface being peeled or torn back to expose the otherworldly vista within. |
