Reverse description A genuine fossilised sea urchin specimen is inset at the centre of the reverse, presenting its natural surface texture with tubercles and ambulacral grooves in high relief against the silver field. The surrounding field is elaborately engraved with a detailed naturalistic composition evoking a marine environment, featuring radiating sea urchin spines and a stippled background suggestive of an underwater seabed. The series title WORLD OF EVOLUTION arcs along the upper periphery in incuse lettering, while the taxon name ECHINOIDEA and the date 2017 appear in the lower field. The inscription 1 OZ AG 0.999 denotes the coin's silver content and purity. The overall design is rendered in antique finish, enhancing the textural contrast between the fossil insert and the engraved silver ground.
