| Reverse description | The central device presents a stylized, mandala-inspired frontal portrait of a lion's head rendered in vivid polychrome colour application, with a turquoise and gold mane, pink and teal facial markings, and a magenta lower mane, set within a circular cartouche. Surrounding the central portrait, the field is engraved with an elaborate astronomical and astrological composition featuring concentric rings, lunar phase indicators, constellation dot patterns, and the Leo zodiac glyph prominently displayed at upper left. Additional zodiac signs including Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, and Cancer are inscribed at intervals around the outer border. The fire element triangle symbol appears in relief at the top of the coin. The overall design reflects a modern artistic interpretation of the Leo sign within a celestial, orrery-inspired framework. |
