| Reverse description | At center, a nude muscular figure of Hercules strides forcefully through rocky sand dunes amid surging water; to the left, a draped female allegorical figure holding a globe and a mirror represents Science; to the right, Mercury, identified by his winged helmet and caduceus, stands alongside a second male figure. The legend arcs around the upper rim, with a two-line inscription and the engraver's signature in the exergue. |
