| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-length portrait of the infamous Indian Ocean pirate Olivier Levasseur, known as 'La Buse' (The Buzzard), depicted in period costume standing upright and facing slightly left, holding a cane or sword in his left hand and a pistol in his right. Behind the figure, an aged treasure map of the Indian Ocean region is engraved in the field, showing locations including The Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, and The Island of Reunion, with dotted route lines. The legend 'CAPTAIN LA BUSE' arcs prominently along the upper border, flanked by small pirate skull-and-crossbones motifs around the inner circle. The date '2020' appears in raised numerals at the base of the design. |
