| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an intensely detailed prehistoric confrontation scene set in a Cretaceous landscape: a large theropod dinosaur, rendered with pronounced musculature and textured skin, rears above an ankylosaur shown in close-up in the central field, its heavily armoured dorsal surface and distinctive horned skull rendered in exceptional sculptural relief. In the lower foreground, a smaller aquatic or semi-aquatic creature is visible on the rocky ground. The background features an erupting volcano with radiating light beams, columnar rock formations, and prehistoric tree-ferns, all executed in finely engraved detail that fills the entire field to the raised rim. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse, the entire surface being devoted to the naturalistic prehistoric tableau. |
