| Reverse description | A large adult blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) rendered in vivid blue polychrome coloring dominates the central field, depicted in a naturalistic underwater setting with a smaller calf swimming below. A stylized globe inset in the upper right field highlights the whale's oceanic range, embellished with a faceted teal crystal gemstone. The legend BLUE WHALE arches along the upper left of the field, while ENDANGERED ANIMAL SPECIES curves vertically along the right margin and along the lower arc. The seabed and ocean surface are indicated by engraved texture in the background field. |
