Reverse description A boldly rendered bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) is depicted in left-facing profile, occupying the central field, with its distinctive arched rostrum and large pectoral fins clearly delineated against a plain background. Above the whale, stylized wave crests suggest an arctic seascape. The Latin binomial legend 'BALAENA MYSTICETUS' curves along the upper border, while the date '2001' and the German common name 'GROENLANDWAL' are inscribed in two lines along the lower exergual border.
