| Reverse description | A highly detailed, polychrome enamel depiction of a Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) dominates the field, rendered in vivid yellow, black, green, blue, and white colouring. The bee is shown in dorsal view, with its characteristic banded abdomen, compound eye, and two pairs of wings clearly delineated against the mirror-polished silver field. A stylised floral element in blue and white enamel is visible to the right of the insect. The date '2005' appears in the lower left field, and the Latin binomial legend 'APIS MELLIFERA' is inscribed along the lower periphery. |
