| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, sculptural depiction of a great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran) rendered in high relief against a frosted matte field, its distinctive cephalofoil head prominently displayed at upper left with finely engraved anatomical detail including gill slits, pectoral and dorsal fins, and serrated teeth. The shark is shown in a dynamic diagonal composition, swimming toward the viewer's left with pectoral, dorsal, and caudal fins fully extended. The inscription GREAT HAMMERHEAD SHARK appears in bold relief lettering in the upper right field. The overall design conforms precisely to the shark-shaped planchet, with the coin's contour echoing the silhouette of the animal. |
