| Reverse description | The convex reverse features a vivid full-colour printed design commemorating the 450th birth anniversary of Galileo Galilei. The central field depicts a colourised heliocentric solar system diagram, with the Sun rendered in gold at centre and the orbiting planets shown in their respective colours against a deep purple cosmic background. To the lower left, the silhouetted figure of Galileo is shown observing the heavens through a telescope. In the lower exergue, the inscriptions 450th ANNIVERSARY, GALILEO GALILEI, and the dates 1564-2014 are incused in polished relief against a mirror-bright field. |
