The fourth planet of the "Celestial" collection is the Sun, which is called "Sol" in Latin, and "Helios" in Greek. It was also revered under the names Titan (Avenger), Apollo (Indivisible), and Paean (Healer).

In ancient times, the metal of this planet was considered pure gold, because just as gold is the king of metals, so too the Sun is the king of planets.
The sacred number of the Sun is 6, which in Kabbalah corresponds to divine Beauty (Tiphereth, the sixth sephirah of the Tree of Life). That is why the figure of the Sun is a hexagon, which in different cultures represented the unity of the universe and served as a representation of the Sun (the center), surrounded by six other planets (six angles).
According to medieval French manuscripts, seals with Sun symbols are "very effective if one needs to achieve honors, high ranks, and wealth; they are also able of free the righteous from severe fever and many other calamities":
tres grande efficacité pour procurer des honneurs des dignitez et des richesses; il a aussi la vertu d’exempter de juste de fievre maligne et de plusieurs autres calamitez

In the middle, a square of the Sun is engraved. It is named thus because its mathematical properties are associated with the number 6: it has six cells horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, the largest digit is 36, and the sum of all numbers equals 666. According to Agrippa of Nettesheim, this square makes a person "who wears it to be renowned, amiable, welcomed, and potent in all matters, as well as equals to kings and princes, and elevates one to the very height of fortune, and enabling him to achieve whatever he desires":
reddit gestantem, gloriosum, amabilem, gratum, potentem in omnibus operibus, & comparat hominem regibus & principibus, elevans eum ad sublimia fortunæ fastigia, impetrare faciens quicquid voluerit
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim
From this square, symbols located above the square, as well as names in the border, are derived. They are associated with the sacred numbers of the Sun 36, 111, and 666. According to French manuscripts, in the Middle Ages, seals with these symbols were used "to gain the friendship of a prince or a great lord, and also to achieve and rise to the highest positions, especially if one is kindhearted and honest":
pour acquerir l’amittié d’un Prince et grand seigneur et par son moyen un homme peut parvenir et monter aux plus grandes charges surtout un homme de coeur & de probité

At the bottom is the "signature" of the archangel according to the representation of medieval Kabbalists about the seven heavens located beyond the earth. The Sun corresponds to Michael. In medieval texts, it is said that "he is very docile and good, and his power extends over wealth, so he can bestow as much gold as desired; he also gives familiar spirits who are faithful servants, fulfilling any commands":
il est très docile et bon son puissance est sur les richesses et vous donne autant d’or que vous desirez vous donne des esprits familiers qui vous servent fidelement en tout ce que vous lui commandez

Solar seals are placed along the edges of the square, as well as characters based on the geomantic figures, Fortuna Major (Great Fortune) and Fortuna Minor (Lesser Fortune).
Since the Sun corresponds to the number 6, this talisman is inlaid with 6 stones. In ancient lapidaries (books on the properties and nature of stones), garnets are attributed to the Sun for their porphyry shade, associated with royal authority, activity, and health.
Names of spirits associated with the Sun and its manifestations in the material world are engraved in the border.
