Description
REVERSE – in the center geometrical triangular/square/round structure – is the reference to the mythical Alchemist searching for legendary Philosophers stone. In the top – portrait of Great Alchemist, most known for his manuscript dedicated to the topic of Philosophers stone. In the coin design, we can find also magical symbols and animals like a dragon, lion, bull, and mythical snake Uroboros. The triangular structure is surrounded by the Astronomical symbol of the day and night sky.
OBVERSE – portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the center of the design, surrounded with magical symbols of basic elements – water and stars/air.
The coin is presented in a matching thematic wooden gift box. The box can be used not only for storing a coin but also as a holder (the coin is placed in it).
