| Reverse description | The sun-side hemisphere of this three-dimensional spherical coin is entirely gold-plated, presenting a radiant anthropomorphic sun in high relief at the centre, its broadly smiling face framed by deeply sculpted alternating long and short rays that extend to the periphery of the sphere. The surrounding filigree field is pierced in an intricate openwork design populated with small mythological and celestial figures visible between the radiating rays, echoing the reverse's cosmic theme. The entire surface is finished in a warm, lustrous gold tone, creating a striking visual contrast with the antique silver moon hemisphere. The cardinal directions N, E, S, W are inscribed at the equatorial band of the sphere. |
