| Reverse description | A highly detailed, full-color photographic rendering of a sacred crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) fills the reverse field, depicting a close-up view of the reptile's head with its powerful jaws agape, revealing rows of prominent ivory teeth and a reddish interior. The scales and textured hide are rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail in muted greens, greys, and ochre tones using applied colorization. The legend 'LE CROCODILE SACRÉ' is inscribed in raised Latin letters along the upper border, and the date '2013' appears in the lower exergue. |
