| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed astrological composition centered on the Pisces sign, rendered in vivid polychrome colour application. Two ornately stylized fish swim in opposing circular directions, their scales detailed in shades of deep blue, purple, and gold with multicoloured highlights, linked by an intertwining cord. The surrounding field features engraved celestial and astrological motifs including planetary symbols, star constellations, lunar phase indicators, and a geometric star pattern. An outer annular border contains additional astrological symbols in relief, including the Pisces glyph and the planetary ruler Neptune, against a finely textured background evoking a celestial chart. |
