Reverse description The copper-nickel centre displays a finely detailed high-relief depiction of alpine gentian (Gentiana nivalis) flowers, with multiple blossoms and stems rendered in naturalistic style, their petals and stamens meticulously engraved. The composition extends into the aluminium bronze outer ring, where additional flower elements and leaves appear in relief, creating a dynamic interplay between the two metallic zones. The engraver's name 'LEIBUNDGUT' is inscribed in small capitals at the right side of the inner field. The legend 'FLORA ALPINA' curves along the lower arc of the outer ring in raised letters.
