| Reverse description | Central cameo-finish field depicts a naturalistic scene of a whale swimming amid underwater flora and fauna, rendered in high relief against a frosted, pearl-like background suggestive of the ocean depths. Small fish or bubbles appear above the whale, enhancing the marine environment. The date 2002 is inscribed in the lower central field. The surrounding raised border carries the arc legend SAVE THE WHALES above and the denomination 10 DOLLARS below, separated from the central design by a polished raised rim. |
