Format astronomical y≤0 as (1−y) BCE and positive y as y CE. Return the named season; this is not conversion of an exact day.
startAstronomical=epoch+SEYear−1; endAstronomical=startAstronomical+1 Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.

}Limitations and assumptions
Coin identification, reference applicability and measurement uncertainty require separate evidence. A returned explanation or arithmetic agreement does not establish authenticity, a certified grade or a current market value.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
