| Reverse description | The central field features a large color-printed depiction of the planet Venus rendered in golden-yellow and ochre tones, occupying the left portion of the design.

To the right of the figure, the astronomical symbol for Venus is struck in relief. Two five-pointed stars flank the design at left and right of center, and a curved arc borders the lower field.
