| Reverse description | A naturalistic depiction of a Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta) shown in profile, swimming to the right, rendered in fine detail with the characteristic broad head and streamlined carapace of the species. The Portuguese common name for turtle, 'TARTARUGA', is inscribed in the field below the animal, serving as both a species identifier and a reminder of Cape Verde's ecological significance as a major nesting site for this species. |
