| Reverse description | High-relief depiction of the articulated dorsal exoskeleton of a juvenile Ogygopsis klotzi trilobite, presented in two sections — cephalon and pygidium — set against a textured stone matrix background rendered to simulate a fossilized rock surface. The antique finish enhances the naturalistic, fossil-like appearance of the design. The legend OGYGOPSIS arcs along the left field and CANADA arcs along the right field, flanking the central fossil motif. |
