| Reverse description | The central field features a large faceted blue crystal inset representing the legendary Hope Diamond in cushion-cut form, flanked on the left by a classical standing figure draped in robes and on the right by an oval portrait medallion of a bewigged nobleman in period dress, likely referencing early owners of the stone. Below the crystal, a sunburst of radiating lines emanates toward the lower field, where a jewelled pendant set with a smaller crystal and a silhouette map of India are depicted, alluding to the diamond's Indian origins. The upper legend reads MOST FAMOUS DIAMONDS / HOPE DIAMOND / 1830, with the date 2016 at the left periphery. The denomination 45.52 CARATS is inscribed in the lower field. |
