| Reverse description | A detailed relief depiction of a sunken sailing vessel resting on the seabed, shown in full color with a teal-blue underwater atmosphere. Rays of light are rendered breaking through the water's surface above the wreck, while two sharks swim in the middle ground. Coral and rocky formations occupy the lower field, enhancing the underwater scene. The legend 'St. Kitts & Nevis' is inscribed in cursive script along the upper arc, with the year '2021' absent from the lettering field but present in the design context. The color application covers the entire reverse field, contrasting with the silver-finished raised design elements. |
