| Reverse description | A richly coloured artistic representation of the Whirlpool Galaxy (Messier 51) occupies the central field, depicted with swirling spiral arms rendered in deep purples, blues, and warm highlights evoking interstellar gas and dust. Approximately 0.33 carats of hand-set pink, golden, and white diamonds are inlaid across the design to represent individual stars and clusters within the galaxy. The legend WHIRLPOOL GALAXY arcs prominently across the upper portion of the reverse, with the date 2025 and the series title EXTRAGALACTIC positioned below. Precise astronomical coordinates and data are inscribed in the field: 23.58 KPC | 31 MLY for the galaxy's distance, RA 13h 29m 53s | Dec +47° 11′ 43 for its celestial position, and the notation P NM. The reverse field bears the same iridescent patina treatment as the obverse, enhancing the cosmic visual effect. |
