| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized two-spot ladybird (Adalia bipunctata) rendered in high relief, shown resting upon a large leaf whose veining is rendered in fine detail across the field. The insect is portrayed in a naturalistic yet artistically simplified manner, with its characteristic domed elytra and rounded form clearly defined. The legend DIVPUNKTU MĀRITE arcs along the upper left rim, and the inscription LATVIJA appears to the right, indicating the coin's design origin. The Latin species name ADALIA BIPUNCTATA is incorporated within the design, and the overall composition conveys botanical and entomological precision in a proof finish. |
