Reverse description The field depicts a radiant star (the Venus symbol) shining in the upper sky above a mountainous landscape, with the sun rising in dramatic rays from the lower left horizon. The scene is separated from the exergue by a horizontal line, beneath which three lines of Latin text record the occasion of the Queen's convalescence after the winter solstice of 1767. The beaded border frames the entire composition.
