| Reverse description | A richly detailed and fully colorized woodland scene depicting two European badgers (Meles meles) in a forest clearing; a foreground badger faces the viewer alertly beside a partially consumed prey animal rendered in warm earth tones, while a second badger in the left middle ground forages among low vegetation. The background features a dense coniferous forest with green-tinted trees and rocky outcroppings, all executed in polychrome enamel applied over finely engraved silver relief. The word BADGER is inscribed in large Fraktur blackletter script arcing across the upper field, with the series inscription WORLD OF HUNTING arranged in a circular cartouche below it, flanked by an oak-leaf motif. The date 2014 appears in the lower exergue. |
