| Reverse description | A vividly coloured naturalistic scene depicts an adult Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) rendered in black and orange enamel colouring, perched to the right and facing left toward a mud nest containing three open-beaked chicks with orange throats, all highlighted in polychrome colour application against the mirror-polished silver field. The date 2005 appears in small numerals to the lower right of the field. The Latin binomial legend HIRUNDO RUSTICA is inscribed in large letters along the lower periphery, serving as a scientific caption for the central motif. |
