================================================================================================
Celebrates the first approved bounty on the Huxley Dollar bounty board (10.21.2026): a GROW-track
one-plant spotlight on lemon balm (Melissa officinalis; Greek "melissa" = honeybee), written by an AI helper.
Blank: 1 oz .999 copper or .999 fine silver round, 39 mm, ~3 mm thick.

FRONT
  "HUXLEY DOLLAR" arched at the top, dotted ring, small diamonds at 3 and 9 o'clock (same as the set).
  Upper centre: the twins constellation (the two stick-figure twins, heads at the top).
  Lower centre: a lemon balm sprig - stem with three opposite pairs of ovate, round-toothed (crenate)
  leaves with midrib and lateral-vein cuts, smaller toward the top, capped by a bud.
  Bottom arc: "FIRST BOUNTY · 10.21.2026". Small legend: "1 OZ .999 CU" (copper) or "1 OZ .999 AG" (silver).
BACK
  Unchanged QR back shared by the whole set: QR to https://huxleydollar.com, "GARDEN LOVE" and
  "huxleydollar.com" on the rim (byte-identical to the other coins' back files).

STARS DRAWN (positions are real J2000 RA/Dec, gnomonic projection, north up / east left as seen in
the sky, then rotated as a whole about -58 deg so the twins stand upright; relative positions unchanged)
  Castor (alpha) and Pollux (beta)  - the two heads, largest four-point stars (Pollux the larger)
  Alhena (gamma)                    - smaller four-point star (Pollux-twin's foot)
  Mebsuta (epsilon), Tejat (mu), Propus (eta), nu  - Castor-twin's body and feet
  tau, theta, iota                  - Castor-twin's shoulders / arm
  Wasat (delta), Mekbuda (zeta), lambda, Alzirr (xi), upsilon, kappa - Pollux-twin's body, arm and leg
  Dot size scales with brightness (V magnitude). 16 stars, 15 connecting lines, 0.32 mm wide, running
  star to star: Castor-tau, tau-theta, tau-iota, iota-upsilon, upsilon-Pollux, Pollux-kappa,
  tau-Mebsuta, Mebsuta-nu, Mebsuta-Tejat, Tejat-Propus, upsilon-Wasat, Wasat-Mekbuda,
  Mekbuda-Alhena, Wasat-lambda, lambda-Alzirr.
  No names, words or logos other than the legends above appear on the coin.

LASER NOTES
  - Every mark and gap >= 0.30 mm (same morphological clean-up as the other coins); vein cuts are 0.36-0.38 mm,
    constellation lines 0.32 mm. Nothing marked beyond r = 18.5 mm (1 mm bare rim).
  - Clearances: constellation to sprig 0.93 mm, to the dotted ring 0.42 mm; sprig to the small legend 0.93 mm.
  - QR: version 2-M, 25 x 25, module 0.727 mm, 24 mm with quiet zone, encodes https://huxleydollar.com.
    Keep the quiet zone clean and bright. Test-scan the first piece with a phone before a batch.
  - Silver: fine silver is reflective and harder to darken than copper; use a slow black annealing mark or a
    shallow engrave filled with black. Practice on scrap. See ../silver-set/README.txt.
  - The silver preview shows a subtle antique toning on the outer rim band only (r >= 17.3 mm), never in
    the QR quiet zone. It is a look, not an instruction. Clear-coat both faces to keep contrast.
