| Reverse description | A dramatic, close-up portrait of a Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) occupying nearly the entire reverse field, depicted with its jaws wide open to reveal prominent upper and lower canine teeth, conveying an aggressive, snarling posture. Fine engraving details the coarse fur texture, whiskers, and alert eyes of the animal with considerable naturalistic precision. Radiating lines extend from behind the creature's head, lending a dynamic compositional energy to the design. The curved inscription TASMANIAN DEVIL arcs across the left field. The antique finish treatment gives depth and contrast to the high-relief engraving. |
