| Reverse description | A highly detailed, close-up portrait of a Glyptodon fills the entire reverse field, depicting the prehistoric armadillo-like mammal facing three-quarters left with its characteristic domed, segmented carapace rendered in precise relief along the upper portion of the coin. The animal's fur-covered face is rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail, and each eye is inset with a three-dimensional amber-colored crystal or resin insert producing a striking real eye effect. To the left field, the legend GLYPTODON 2017 and the purity mark 1OZ AG.999 are inscribed vertically. The antique finish enhances the textural contrast between the smooth polygonal scutes of the carapace and the finely striated fur of the face. |
