| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed astronomical and astrological composition centered on a colorful polychrome effigy of the Virgo maiden in profile facing left, rendered in vivid tones of blue, pink, yellow, and green with an intricate mandala-style decorative treatment. The figure is set within a circular mechanical orrery or astrolabe device, featuring concentric rings, gear-like elements, and interconnected nodes in high relief. The surrounding field is engraved with zodiac constellation maps, lunar phase sequences, planetary symbols, and a starfield rendered in contrasting matte and polished finishes. The Virgo glyph appears prominently in the upper left of the border ring, with the symbol for Mercury visible at the bottom, referencing Virgo's ruling planet. The overall design evokes a sophisticated celestial chart aesthetic combining Art Nouveau figurative elements with scientific astronomical imagery. |
