Reverse description The reverse depicts a charming cherubic guardian angel rendered in a soft, rounded sculptural style, seated frontally with large feathered wings spread behind it. The angel wears a gold-gilded snowflake hairpin as a halo adornment and cradles in its hands a genuine pink Bethlehem glass sphere — a distinctive insert representing the light of Bethlehem — which forms the focal point of the composition. The field is divided between a frosted satin-finished relief half and a deeply mirrored polished half, lending a dramatic two-tone aesthetic. The bilingual legend TVŮJ STRÁŽNÝ ANDĚL · YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The overall design is warm and devotional in character, blending fine numismatic craftsmanship with a decorative glass inlay.
