| Reverse description | The central silver field depicts a stylised Toucan perched prominently above a compass rose, with the star pattern of the Tucana constellation mapped in the background as it appears from the southern hemisphere. The constellation lines connect the principal stars in their correct astronomical orientation relative to Antarctica. The gold-plated outer ring frames the design, while the reverse legend identifies the subject above and below the central motif. |
