| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the twin figures of Castor and Pollux, the mythological Dioscuri representing the zodiac sign of Gemini, rendered as two young boys standing side by side in a classicizing style. Both figures are adorned with star motifs at their joints and extremities, symbolizing their celestial nature, and one figure gestures outward with an extended arm. The composition is set against a deeply contrasting proof field divided into polished and frosted areas. To the right of the figures, the astrological symbol for Gemini (♊) is prominently displayed in relief. The design is unlettered, with the imagery alone conveying the zodiacal theme. |
