| Reverse description | The reverse presents a plain, highly polished gold field in an annular format, centred on a circular hole characteristic of this armillary sphere series. Elegant cursive script lettering, appearing to reference the Valcambi assay office signature, is engraved in a flowing calligraphic style across the smooth surface. The minimalist design emphasises the purity and lustre of the .9999 fine gold, with no additional pictorial motifs, allowing the natural reflectivity of the metal to serve as the primary decorative element. |
