| Obverse description | A highly detailed rendering of a Bird of Paradise (Paradisaea) perched on a bare branch occupying the full field of the coin. The bird is depicted in profile facing left, its elongated ornamental plumage flowing dramatically upward and outward in sweeping arcs to fill the design space. Fine engraving captures the intricate texture of the feathers with exceptional naturalistic detail. The composition is framed by a beaded border encircling the entire design. |
