| Reverse description | A polar azimuthal projection map of Antarctica occupies the central field, with meridian lines radiating outward from the South Pole, dividing the continent into territorial sectors. The legend 'ANTARCTIC TERRITORIES' arcs across the upper portion of the brass middle ring, while 'ANTARCTIQUE' appears along the right side and 'ANTARTICA' along the lower left, presenting the territorial designation in multiple languages. Small asterisk devices punctuate the field between the inscriptions. The design is rendered in the brass middle ring and copper-nickel outer ring, creating a distinct trimetallic visual contrast. |
