| Reverse description | A highly detailed, ultra-high relief three-dimensional depiction of a Black Ammonoidea fossil occupies the entire reverse field, rendered with exceptional sculptural depth to simulate the coiled, chambered shell of the extinct cephalopod. The surface of the ammonite displays pronounced suture lines and ribbing characteristic of the order Ammonoidea, finished in black antique treatment to accentuate the fossil-like appearance. A small embedded fossil or mineral insert is set within the central umbilicus of the coil. The series title WORLD OF EVOLUTION arcs along the upper legend, while the specifications 1 KG AG 0.999 and the taxon name AMMONOIDEA along with the date 2016 appear in the lower field. |
