| Obverse description | A radiant sun face emerges from billowing clouds in high relief, with rays extending downward toward a stylized comet in the lower field. Small figures appear amid the clouds flanking the sun. A circular legend surrounds the central design, with the comet's name and dates inscribed in the lower portion of the field. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts a naked male figure armed with a club and shield confronting the descending comet, rendered as streaming parallel lines ending in a star; a hare flees to the right while intertwined serpents fill the left field and a large dolphin-like sea creature coils to the right. The inner border is formed by a toothed ring, beyond which the twelve signs of the zodiac are arranged in relief panels around the full circumference. |
