| Reverse description | A vivid full-color depiction of a regal angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus) rendered in yellow, black, white, and blue diagonal stripes, set against a multicolored coral reef background incorporating red, green, and black tones. The fish occupies the majority of the central field, conveying a strong sense of naturalistic depth. An uncolored silver cartouche positioned at the upper right bears the denomination and fineness inscription. The outer border features a repeating triangular geometric pattern, framing the colorized central motif. |
