| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a sunken sailing vessel resting on a coral-strewn seabed, rendered in gilt against a vivid colourized underwater scene. Shafts of light filter downward through turquoise-blue water, illuminating the decaying hull, broken masts, and trailing rigging of the wreck. Two sharks are depicted swimming in the middle field to the left of the wreck. The cursive legend 'St. Kitts & Nevis' arcs along the upper portion of the field, with the date '2021' incorporated into the design. |
