| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic depiction of a seahorse (Hippocampus) dominates the central field, its sinuous body rendered with fine scale texture and its prehensile tail curled gracefully in the lower portion of the design. Beneath and surrounding the seahorse, an intricate spiraling Polynesian tribal wave pattern fills the field, evoking traditional Pacific decorative motifs and providing strong visual contrast to the central figure. The composition is tightly framed within the coin's circular border, with no additional legends on the reverse. |
