| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by artist Pandora Young, presents an intricate geometric composition rooted in the mathematical base-six system and inspired by the Celtic triskele motif. Three radiating spiral forms, arranged in rotational symmetry, create an elegant interlocking pattern engraved across the coin's surface. Three genuine Swarovski crystal elements are set within the design, representing the garnet birthstone of January, with an additional gem-like Swarovski crystal set at the centre of the coin. The artist's monogram PY appears in the field. The overall aesthetic merges Celtic artistic tradition with modern mathematical precision in a highly polished reverse-proof finish. |
