| Reverse description | A finely detailed relief portrayal of the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) swimming in profile toward the right, its intricately engraved carapace and outstretched limbs rendered with naturalistic precision. The aquatic setting is suggested by stylised rippled water lines across the field and a clump of reeds depicted in the upper left background. The Latin binomial legend 'EMYS ORBICULARIS' curves along the upper left periphery of the field. The contrasting frosted relief against the mirror-polished field gives the design a pronounced cameo proof appearance. |
