| Reverse description | A muscular male figure, rendered in a classical heroic style, stands at the lower left of the half-circle flan, raising a flaming torch aloft in his right hand. Horizontal engraved lines radiate across the field behind the figure, lending a dynamic sense of motion and light. The legend 'TEMPORA MUTANTUR' curves along the upper arc of the coin, reading from right to left following the shape of the straight edge. |
