| Reverse description | The reverse features a dramatic close-up representation of the celebrated reclining Buddha statue of Wat Pho, Bangkok, Thailand, rendered in high relief. The elaborately incised soles of the Buddha's feet, decorated with concentric spiral patterns symbolising the 108 auspicious characteristics, dominate the right portion of the field, while the recumbent gilded figure extends toward the lower left. A fingerprint-like pattern of fine concentric lines fills the background, evoking the sacred markings of the Buddha's skin. The legend WORLD BUDDHA HERITAGE ~ 2011 curves along the lower periphery, with WAT PHO / THAILAND inscribed in the lower central field, and 1/4 OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD arcing along the upper border. |
