| Reverse description | A draped female figure personifying Aquarius is depicted in high relief at center, facing the viewer with a solemn, serene expression and long flowing hair adorned with a diadem headband. She cradles a large ornate urn or water-bearer's vessel in her arms, from which water cascades downward, rendered with fluid sculptural precision. Her garment is a classical drape fastened at one shoulder, leaving the other bare, with decorative bracelet details at the wrist. The background is engraved with swirling, wave-like arabesques evoking the element of water. The legend AQUARIUS appears incuse in the left field, and the entire design is enhanced by an antiqued silver finish that accentuates the deep relief and fine surface engraving. |
