Reverse description
Enhanced with selective gold plating, the reverse features an array of line art patterns that visually convey motion and evoke the sense of an ever-changing wind. This swirling representation of Air rises as it surrounds the opening at the centre of the coin, where a multicoloured ammolite, the gold-plated setting allows the suspended gemstone to “dance” at the slightest movement of the coin base.
