| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) occupying the central field, shown in a three-quarter view with its distinctive wide-open mouth and gill rakers clearly rendered, partially breaching the ocean surface with dorsal and caudal fins visible above the waterline. The upper legend YEAR OF THE OCEAN arcs along the top periphery in bold relief lettering with a textured background suggesting sky and sea. The denomination 1 CROWN is inscribed in two lines at the base of the design, with the numeral above the word CROWN. The entire design is enclosed by a denticled border, and the mirrored proof fields enhance the sculptural contrast of the marine subject. |
