Beschrijving keerzijde	A seated adult cheetah, head raised alertly, is depicted in the centre of the field alongside two cubs resting at its side, illustrating the conservation theme of the issue. The composition, engraved by Michael Rizzello, is rendered in fine sculptural detail against a deeply mirrored background.
