| Reverse description | The reverse constitutes the lower half of this three-dimensional two-part silver coin, sculpted in high relief to depict scenes from the Genesis creation narrative. A deeply recessed concave field portrays a stylised terrestrial globe with silhouetted trees, lush vegetation, and foliage rendered in meticulous detail against a mirror proof background, evoking the third day of creation. A polished horizontal silver platform bisects the composition, upon which a faceted Swarovski crystal element is set, symbolising the light of creation. The interplay of the convex obverse dome and the concave reverse bowl gives the piece a striking sculptural three-dimensional character. |
