| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic depiction of an adult Cross-River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) cradling a young infant in its arms, rendered in high relief against a lightly textured background suggesting forest foliage. The adult gorilla faces forward with a commanding presence, its powerful frame filling the majority of the field, while the infant gorilla clings to the adult's chest and gazes outward. The species designation CROSS-RIVER GORILLA arcs along the upper rim in bold raised lettering. The date 2011 appears in the lower exergue. |
