Reverse description A dynamic, allegorical female figure rendered in high relief arches gracefully across the upper portion of the field, her flowing hair and elongated form evoking cosmic motion. Behind her, the field is engraved with intricate Renaissance-style astronomical and mathematical notations, geometric grids, and Latin inscriptions referencing proportions and celestial bodies, recalling the scientific manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci. A row of five-pointed stars appears at mid-field on both sides. In the lower portion of the coin, a vivid color-printed image of the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) is depicted, showing the two colliding galaxies in blue, red, and gold hues against a dark background. The legend ANTENNAE to the left and GALAXIES to the right arc across the mid-field in bold capital letters.
