| Reverse description | A dramatic, close-up high-relief portrait of a sacred crocodile fills virtually the entire field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail in the antique finish silver. The reptile is depicted with its powerful jaws agape, revealing rows of prominent conical teeth, while the intricately textured scutes and scales of the head and neck are rendered with fine relief work across the field. The legend 'LE CROCODILE SACRÉ' arcs along the upper periphery in incuse Latin lettering, and the date '2013' is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
