| Reverse description | Stylised cartoon-style depictions of two gorillas face to face, rendered in relief against a highly polished mirror field: the smaller young gorilla Nuru at left and the larger adult female Kamba at right, their faces turned toward each other in a companionable pose. The bold legend 'NURU A KAMBA' arcs in large raised letters across the upper field. Along the left rim appears the licensing credit 'LICENCI POSKYTLA ČESKÁ TELEVIZE', and along the lower and right rim the production credit 'GORILÍ POVÍDÁNÍ - NÁMĚT A REŽIE VÁCLAV CHALOUPEK'. The initials 'IH' of the designer appear in the right field, and the Czech Mint monogram is struck in the lower centre of the field. |
