| Reverse description | A highly detailed, finely engraved frontal portrait of a long-haired cat — identified as a Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul), native to the Mongolian steppe — fills the reverse field. The fur is rendered with exceptional artistry through closely incised lines conveying texture and depth. The eyes of the cat are set with two inset diamond stones (each 0.1 karat total), lending a striking three-dimensional quality to the design. The date 1999 is inscribed in the lower right portion of the field, partially overlapping the base of the composition. A reeded border encircles the entire design. |
