Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse displays a finely modelled high-relief depiction of a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) with wings fully spread, shown in a dynamic landing pose with talons extended and gripping a rocky surface. The composition fills the copper-nickel centre with naturalistic detail, the feathering rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The engraver's signature 'N. HEEB' appears in small incuse lettering to the lower left of the central design. The legend 'PARC NATIONAL SUISSE' curves along the lower portion of the brass outer ring, referencing the Swiss National Park where the species is protected.

Aanvullende informatie

Switzerland's golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) was chosen for this commemorative following successful recolonization of the Alps after centuries of persecution — the species had been hunted to regional extinction by the early 20th century and only recovered through decades of legal protection beginning in 1953. By 2008, the Swiss population had stabilized at roughly 350 breeding pairs, a recovery significant enough to warrant federal recognition.
