| Reverse description | A vividly colorized mandarin fish (Synchiropus splendidus) is depicted in full lateral profile at center, displaying its characteristic vivid orange and green wavy patterning with blue-edged fins, set against a polished proof field with a stylized coral background rendered in relief.
