| Reverse description | A majestic griffin, the mythical creature combining the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, is depicted in full color set against an enchanted forest scene. The creature is shown in a dynamic stance with wings fully spread, conveying power and nobility. Rich colorization highlights the detailed feathering of the wings and the naturalistic rendering of the surrounding foliage. The inscription GRIFFIN appears as the primary legend, identifying the subject of the design. The composition is rendered in high relief with fine detail throughout. |
