An amethyst gemstone insert is set into the lower portion of the coin's irregular shaped field. The legend encircles the design, with the denomination, issuing authority, and date distributed around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | The two bearded faces of the Roman god Janus are depicted back-to-back at the centre of the design, rendered in high relief within a finely beaded circular border, evoking the deity's dual nature of looking simultaneously to past and future. An amethyst gemstone insert is incorporated into the lower section of the irregular-shaped field. The legend IANUS appears in the field, identifying the subject in its classical Latin form. |
