| Reverse description | A humpback whale depicted in a dramatic breaching posture, its body and characteristic long pectoral fins rendered in finely detailed high relief as it erupts from stylized ocean waves in the central field. The naturalistic design emphasizes the distinctive ventral grooves and tubercles of the species. The legend '•SEA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT•' curves along the upper and right periphery, while the denomination '2 PAʻANGA' appears in the lower field, reflecting the FAO theme of marine conservation. |
