| Reverse description | Two wattled cranes (Grus carunculata) are depicted in dynamic pose with wings fully extended, rendered in fine relief against a plain field, with sparse ground vegetation indicated beneath their feet. The denomination '$100' appears in the lower field below the birds. The arc inscription 'PRESERVE PLANET EARTH' curves along the upper periphery, framing the central motif. The design forms part of the internationally recognized 'Preserve Planet Earth' conservation series. The engraving style is naturalistic, capturing the distinctive carunculated wattles and elongated neck feathers characteristic of the species. |
