| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly colored enamel scene depicting the heliocentric solar system, with a radiant sun rendered in vivid orange and yellow tones dominating the left field, alongside a detailed full-color image of Earth and other celestial bodies with inset meteorite fragments. Against this cosmic backdrop, a finely detailed antique-finish relief bust of Nicolaus Copernicus occupies the right portion of the field, depicted in three-quarter view with shoulder-length curly hair and a fur-trimmed collar. The date '2016' appears in the lower left field, and the legend 'THE HELIOCENTRIC THEORY' is inscribed along a curved banner at the lower right. The purity and weight designation '1OZ AG999' is incorporated into the reverse design. |
