| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a large full-color applied image depicting a phoenix with wings outstretched and talons extended, rising dramatically against a swirling background of red, orange, and yellow flames rendered in vivid polychrome. The mythical bird is depicted in dark tones contrasting against the fiery circular surround, evoking the legendary theme of resurrection from ashes. A dotted inner border frames the colored medallion. The legend MYSTICAL CREATURES arcs along the upper rim, PHOENIX appears along the lower rim, and RISES FROM THE ASHES is inscribed vertically along the left side, all separated by raised bullet points. |
