| Reverse description | A dramatic close-up portrait of the roaring King Kong, rendered in high relief with the figure's fur and facial features depicted in exceptional detail across the central field. The entire design of King Kong is selectively gold-plated, creating a striking contrast against the mirror-polished silver field. The denomination 1 DOLLAR appears to the left in a stylised lettering evoking the film's title treatment, while the copyright notice © UNIVERSAL STUDIOS arcs along the right rim. The design commemorates the 2005 Universal Studios remake of the classic film. |
