| Reverse description | Central design presents a naturalistic scene of a coconut crab (Birgus latro) posed with claws raised on a sandy beach between two small tropical islets, each planted with palm trees, surrounded by rippling ocean waves rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. The denomination DIX MILLE VATU arcs along the upper legend, with the numeral 10.000 immediately below. The scientific name BIRGUS LATRO is inscribed in small letters beneath the central device, and the date 1981 appears prominently in the lower field. |
