The obverse of the second coin remembers Kepler's book Astronomia nova (New Astronomy) that was published in 1609. The legend contains Kepler's name (KEPLERO) along with the book he published "ASTRONOMIA NOVA". It is made with the sun at the center of a system with 8 planets, bringing out the idea of Kepler's key influence in developing the heliocentric model of the solar system. In addition the 12 signs of the Zodiac can be seen in the neighborhood of the same planetary system.
