| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief sculptural composition depicts a family group of woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius): a large adult mammoth is shown facing forward at the upper center, flanked below by two juvenile mammoths whose heads face inward. Each animal's eyes are set with inlaid red-brown crystals, lending a striking naturalistic effect. The legend 'MAMMUTHUS FAMILY' is inscribed in the upper left field, with the silver content notation '1 KG AG 999' along the right margin, and the date '2015' in the lower exergue. The entire reverse is rendered in antique-finished high relief, showcasing exceptional sculptural detail in the fur and tusks of the animals. |
