Reverse description The reverse depicts a naturalistic scene of two crested gibbons — a mother and clinging infant — seated on a tree branch, rendered in fine relief. The mother grips a branch with one hand while cradling the juvenile with her other arm, the pair facing the viewer. A leafy branch extends to the right of the composition. The legend 'BẢO VỆ THIÊN NHIÊN' (Protect Nature) curves along the upper right periphery, while 'ĐƯỜI ƯƠI' (the Vietnamese term used here in reference to the gibbons) appears along the lower periphery. The date '1990' is inscribed in small characters at the base of the design.
