| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed relief scene inspired by historical depictions of Galileo Galilei demonstrating his astronomical discoveries. Several figures are shown gathered around Galileo, who gestures toward the heavens with an instrument, while his audience looks on with expressions of wonder and scholarly engagement. The composition is set against an architectural backdrop with drapery, rendered in a classical engraving style with rich sculptural depth. At the top of the oval flan, the same inlaid nocturnal sky insert as on the obverse is visible, seamlessly integrating the photographic element into the narrative scene. No legends appear on the reverse, allowing the figural composition to dominate the entire field. |
