| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly colored, multi-layered depiction of the Prague Astronomical Clock dial at center, rendered in vivid polychrome enamel with deep blue, red, and gold tones, complete with Roman numeral hour markings and zodiacal symbols. A single gold-plated hand projects vertically from the center of the dial, functioning as a stylized clock hand in high relief. Surrounding the central dial, arranged around the inner border of the field, are eight raised silver relief vignettes representing milestone timekeeping devices from history, each labeled with its date and name: 1500 BC Sundial, 1400 BC Water Clock, 150 BC Hourglass, 723 Mechanical, 1510 Spring Driven, 1656 Pendulum, 1949 Atomical, and 1956 Digital. These legends arc around the full circumference of the inner field in raised Latin lettering, forming a chronological narrative of horological evolution. |
