| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed composition depicting two humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) rendered in high relief against a frosted black field. A smaller whale, possibly a calf, is shown swimming toward the upper right within a circular white zone suggesting water or a moon, while a larger adult whale occupies the lower portion of the field in a graceful horizontal pose. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs across the upper periphery, and the denomination 1 PA'ANGA appears along the lower border, all in raised Latin lettering. The design is framed by a beaded border and reflects the conservation theme of the series. |
