| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborately detailed astronomical and astrological composition filling the entire field. At center, a multicolored polychrome bow and arrow — the symbol of Sagittarius — rendered in vivid red, amber, and teal enamel, is superimposed over an intricately engraved geometric mandala or celestial star-chart pattern. Surrounding this central medallion are concentric rings depicting the phases of the Moon as a sequence of circles graduating from full to crescent, alongside engraved zodiac constellation lines and star groupings. The outer border ring incorporates additional zodiac and planetary glyphs, including numerals and astrological symbols, completing the cosmological theme. |
