| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate Art Nouveau-inspired composition centered on the circular aperture housing the miniature hourglass insert, symbolizing the passage of time. Sinuous, organic lines and flowing forms characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic radiate outward from the central void, incorporating personifications of the Sun and Moon as well as depictions of the lunar phases. The interplay of celestial motifs — solar and lunar imagery interwoven with curvilinear decorative elements — creates a richly symbolic tableau evoking cosmological cycles. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark and the engraver's initials 'JM' appear discreetly within the field. The antiqued silver finish enhances the sculptural depth of the high-relief design. |
