| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly detailed, colorful representation of the Cancer crab at center, rendered in polychrome enamel with rich tones of red, orange, teal, and cream, set within an ornate mandala-like geometric framework of interlocking lines and star patterns. The Cancer zodiac glyph appears at the upper left of the inner field, accompanied by faint celestial and astrological chart motifs including orbital arcs, star clusters, lunar symbols, and additional zodiac glyphs arranged across the background field. The outer border ring mirrors the obverse, bearing all twelve zodiac symbols in raised relief within individual recessed panels. The composition creates a dramatic contrast between the rose gold-toned metallic elements and the vivid colored central motif. |
