Reverse description	The central field is divided diagonally, presenting the Sagittarius constellation rendered as a scatter of stars against a stippled celestial background in the upper half, with the Sagittarius symbol (arrow) prominently displayed and the dates 23/11 and 21/12 indicating the zodiacal period. The lower half depicts the mythological centaur-archer in right-facing profile, bow drawn, galloping above a field of stylised flames representing the fire element. A broad border ring encircles the composition, segmented into twelve panels each bearing the astrological symbol of one of the zodiac signs; additional celestial symbols including a sun, moon, and yin-yang motif appear in alternating panels. The Cyrillic inscription СТРЕЛЕЦ (Sagittarius) is inscribed within the lower central field.
