| Reverse description | A highly detailed, ultra-high relief portrait of a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) fills the field, depicted in a three-quarter facing left view with the characteristic white-feathered head and hooked yellow beak rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail. The eagle's piercing eye is the focal point, with individual feathers on the neck and crown sculpted with remarkable precision. A mountainous landscape with foliage is visible in the background. Along the lower arc of the coin, the legend THE BALD EAGLE • 1 KG .999 CU is incused in the border, and an engraver's signature appears to the right of the portrait. The antique copper finish enhances the sculptural depth of the composition. |
