| Reverse description | A highly detailed, fully coloured depiction of an Azure Kingfisher (Ceyx azureus) in dynamic flight, rendered with vivid polychrome enamel application against the warm gold field. The bird is shown with wings fully spread and angled downward, its azure and cobalt blue plumage with rich purple-tinted primary feathers and orange-rufous underparts faithfully reproduced. The kingfisher grips a small fish in its elongated bill and rises dramatically above a cresting wave rendered in coloured relief with white foam detail. Foliage, rendered in gold relief, frames the upper right of the composition. The legend AZURE KINGFISHER is inscribed in raised Latin lettering along the upper left arc of the field. |
