| Reverse description | Three nestling chicks with open beaks are depicted in high relief, seated together in a woven nest adorned with leaves, rendered in fine naturalistic detail. The composition is a metaphorical allusion to childhood nurture and the United Nations International Year of the Child. The curved legend AÑO INTERNACIONAL DEL NIÑO arcs along the upper border, and the date 1979 appears in the lower exergue. The design is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
