| Obverse description | Elaborate gilt relief design modelled after an astrolabe, featuring concentric circular zones with Arabic inscriptions naming celestial bodies and constellations, graduated degree scales along the outer rim, and intricate interlocking curvilinear and grid-patterned fields radiating from a central boss. The overall composition closely replicates the rete and tympan of a traditional Islamic astronomical instrument. |
