| Reverse description | A highly detailed, relief-sculpted stingless bee occupies the central field, depicted frontally with its segmented abdomen, six legs, antennae, and compound eyes rendered with fine naturalistic precision. The bee's two pairs of wings are treated with applied colour, exhibiting an iridescent holographic effect in shades of blue, violet, and green. Behind the bee, a large circular honeycomb structure composed of raised spherical cells fills the field, providing a rich textured background. The legend 'STINGLESS BEE' arcs along the upper periphery in incuse lettering, while '1oz 999 PURE SILVER' is inscribed along the lower periphery. |
