Reverse description The reverse depicts a vivid, naturalistically rendered scene of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) in high relief against a polished silver field. At the center-right, a trap is shown in the act of closing, its interior richly colored in deep red and orange enamel with prominent trigger hairs rendered in green and gold, conveying the carnivorous plant's predatory action. To the left, open traps and broad basal leaves are depicted in uncolored fine relief, highlighting the plant's morphology in precise botanical detail. The background field carries a subtle engraved texture suggesting the plant's natural habitat. At the bottom, a rectangular cartouche bears the italic Latin legend Dionaea muscipula in black lettering on a white ground.
