| Reverse description | Central polychrome colored illustration of a Black-Faced Spoonbill (Platalea minor) depicted in a dynamic display posture with wings fully spread, standing amid green aquatic vegetation in a blue wetland setting; the bird's characteristic black spatulate bill and orange-red breast patch are rendered in vivid color against the dark proof field. The Chinese characters '黑面琵鷺' appear to the left of the central design.

To the right, the inscription '$2 1OZ .999 SILVER' is arranged vertically. The design is framed by a plain raised rim. |
