Reverse description	A highly detailed, naturalistically rendered hedgehog is depicted in full profile facing right, occupying the entirety of the coin's shaped flan. The animal's spiny dorsal coat is rendered with fine engraving and enhanced with warm amber and brown colouring, conveying texture and depth. The smooth facial area, legs, and underbelly are shown in a contrasting lighter tone, with the eye rendered as a bold black circle. The coin's outline conforms precisely to the silhouette of the hedgehog, giving the piece its distinctive non-round shape. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse.
