Obverse features a circular light wave, symbolizing the so-called "Einstein Ring." This optical phenomenon occurs when light from a distant galaxy is bent by a massive object located between the galaxy and the observer. The obverse also displays a pattern expressing the formula ∆∅=4GM/bc², which calculates the light deflection. In the center, there is a simplified image of a galaxy cluster, whose gravity repeatedly deflects the light.

Reverse presents a colored interpretation of the Einstein Ring, visually depicting how this phenomenon appears in reality. The entire composition references Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, which predicts such effects when space-time is curved by gravity.
