| Reverse description | A stylized pre-Columbian Coclé culture ceremonial mask is depicted in high relief at the center of the field, rendered in a bold, symmetrical design characteristic of ancient Panamanian goldwork. The anthropomorphic figure features an elaborate headdress, large circular eyes, and prominent outstretched appendages terminating in stylized zoomorphic forms. The date 1981 is inscribed in two parts flanking the lower portion of the central motif, with '19' to the left and '81' to the right. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, echoing the aesthetic conventions of pre-Columbian decorative arts. The field surrounding the mask is mirror-polished on proof examples, providing strong contrast to the frosted relief. |
