| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, colorized depiction of the planet Venus at center, rendered in rich amber and golden hues with visible surface cloud formations, set within a concave domed insert. Surrounding the planet is a silver inner ring decorated with gilt spherical dots representing celestial bodies. The outer annular zone is finished in black ruthenium and features an intricate engraved star chart of the solar system, with orbital paths, constellation lines, and labeled celestial objects rendered in fine detail. The outermost rim is selectively gilded in polished gold, providing a striking contrast to the darkened field. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse, allowing the astronomical imagery to dominate the design. |
