On the obverse, a shell stands on the left, a reference to De la terre à la lune. On the right, the team observes the moon from their orbiting shell, a reference to Autour de la lune. They include Impey Barbicane, Michel Ardan (an anagram of Nadar, a friend of Jules Verne), Captain Nicholl, the dog Diane, and one of the chickens on board the spacecraft. The titles De la terre à la lune and Autour de la lune are in the centre, with the author's name inside the moon and the yeardate at the bottom. The reverse side is common to the entire Art of the Quill series. Several iconic quotations can be read, such as Voltaire’s “Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien”, Dante Alighieri’s “Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate ”, William Shakespeare’s “To be or not to be: that is the question” or Nietzsche’s “Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich starker”
