| Reverse description | The central field features a vivid full-colour applied image of a Portuguese Man O' War (Physalia physalis) depicted both above and below the ocean surface, showcasing its translucent pneumatophore (gas-filled float) above the waterline and its trailing venomous tentacles suspended beneath in deep blue waters. The naturalistic rendering captures the creature's distinctive iridescent blue and violet colouration with striking realism. The surrounding polished silver border bears the raised legends VENOMOUS & POISONOUS arcing across the upper field and PORTUGUESE MAN O' WAR along the lower periphery in bold block lettering. |
