| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic high-relief scene of prehistoric humans gathered around a vivid, colorfully applied campfire, rendered in full color with orange and yellow flames rising from a bed of glowing red embers. Four primitive human figures, clad in animal skins, are shown in dynamic poses around the fire, some crouching and others with arms outstretched in apparent celebration or warming themselves against the cold. The background features a dark blue colored field suggesting a cold nocturnal environment, with rugged rock formations and cave openings framing the scene at the upper portion of the coin. The composition references the discovery and mastery of fire as a pivotal moment in human prehistory, executed with exceptional sculptural depth. The reverse carries no legends or inscriptions. |
