| Reverse description | A front-facing bust of Nicolaus Copernicus dominates the centre of the field, rendered with fine portraiture detail evoking Renaissance artistic tradition. An armillary sphere, symbolic of Copernicus's heliocentric model of the solar system, is depicted to the left of the portrait, while an assembly of mechanical gears occupies the right side, referencing the scientific and mechanical advances of his era. The overall composition blends classical portraiture with steampunk-inspired mechanical imagery, consistent with the thematic design of the series. The legend NICOLAUS COPERNICUS arcs above the portrait, with the life dates 1473–1543 inscribed below. |
