| Reverse description | A centrally mounted faceted Swarovski alexandrite crystal element, representing the birthstone for June, is set within a bezel at the heart of a swirling, stylized sunburst or pinwheel composition of curved, tapering petals radiating symmetrically outward across the matte silver field. The petals are rendered in high relief with fine surface texture contrasting against the polished surround, creating a dynamic sense of rotation. The overall design evokes both a floral motif and a celestial form, with the iridescent crystal serving as the focal centrepiece. No legend or inscription appears on the reverse. |
