| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic depiction of an adult Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) recumbent in the left portion of the field, its head turned to face the viewer with characteristic facial features rendered in fine relief. A young infant gorilla is seated to the right of the adult, facing left and appearing to interact with the larger animal, conveying a scene of maternal proximity in the species' natural habitat. The legend CROSS-RIVER GORILLA arcs along the upper portion of the field in bold serif lettering against a polished mirror background. The date 2013 is inscribed in the lower exergue. The reverse exhibits selective gold gilding highlighting the gorillas against the proof-finish silver field. |
