| Reverse description | Central design depicting a research vessel underway at sea, its superstructure and masts rendered in fine relief against the polished field, with stylised ocean waves below the waterline. In the foreground, a detailed starfish is positioned to the left and a branch of coral to the right, evoking the marine biology focus of the institution being commemorated. The circumferential legend BERMUDA BIOLOGICAL STATION FOR RESEARCH arcs around the upper border, separated from the central motif by a raised inner circle. The centenary dates 1903 - 2003, flanked by bullet points, appear in the lower exergual area. |
