The colorized design is set against a deep black background within a polished silver border. The bold Japanese katakana logo バベル2世 appears in blue and yellow in the mid-field. The upper legend reads BABEL II followed by a star and 35th ANNIVERSARY, the denomination $1 appears at the base, and the copyright notice HIKARI PROD. is inscribed to the right of the border. |

| Additional information |
The "Babel II" designation places this within Perth Mint's long-running series of coins exploring ancient civilizations, issued through the mid-2000s when the mint was aggressively expanding its themed collector programs for the Asian and European secondary markets. Perth's colored and proof issues from this period were often produced in mintages under 10,000, though without confirmed figures for this specific release, the KM# 128 reference is the more reliable anchor.
