| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, selectively gilt effigy of a tortoise rendered in high relief, positioned centrally and facing left, its textured carapace and scaly limbs meticulously engraved. The background features the same interlocking hexagonal geometric motif as the obverse, partially gilt and partially frosted, with an engraved tropical foliage design occupying the upper right field. The inscription 'BE STRONG' is rendered in bold, stylised Latin lettering along the lower right of the field, complementing the symbolic theme of resilience embodied by the tortoise. The composition combines proof and frosted finishes to create a vivid contrast between the gilt animal and the silver geometric ground. |
