| Reverse description | A dynamic three-dimensional gilded female figure, rendered in high relief, is depicted in a diving or leaping pose at centre, her hair and body arching gracefully against the field. The lower portion of the field features a full-colour inset image of spiral galaxy NGC 4321 (Messier 100), with teal and white tones depicting its luminous core and sweeping spiral arms against a deep black starfield. The background incorporates engraved celestial and alchemical diagrams, including orbital arcs and early scientific notation, evoking Renaissance astronomical manuscripts. The inscriptions GALAXY to the left and NGC 4321 to the right appear flanked by rows of five-pointed stars arranged in arcs. |
