| Obverse description | Central field features a nude female figure standing upright in full relief, rendered in a idealized classical style, facing the viewer with arms slightly extended at her sides. The figure is set against a radiant background of stylized wavy rays emanating outward, evoking elemental forces of nature. The date 1960 is divided across the lower central field, with '19' to the left and '60' to the right of the figure's legs. The circumferential Latin legend reads: OMNES EX EADEM TERRA NATI SUMUS above and IMPERIUM MUNDI below, separated by small ornamental stops. |

| Additional information |
The "Aureus Magnus" series was a privately commissioned fantasy issue — not struck by any federal mint or authorized by the Bundesbank. These pieces occupy the murky category of "Medallic issues" in German numismatics: legally produced but without any official monetary standing. The X# prefix in the Standard Catalog of World Coins specifically designates such non-circulating fantasy and medallic pieces, separating them from government-sanctioned coinage.
The "Children of Earth" designation marks this as Type 2 within the series, distinguished from Type 1 by die differences documented in the X#M83 reference.
