| Reverse description | A richly detailed scenic composition depicts a young Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin at lower right, shown in period dress and seated at a writing desk, recording his observations. To his left, a parrot perches on a branch amid lush tropical foliage, evoking the Caribbean flora and fauna he documented. In the background, a tall-masted sailing ship is visible on open water, referencing the Caribbean expedition of 1754–1759. The legend KARIBIK-EXPEDITION arcs along the upper left of the field, with the dates 1754–1759 continuing along the upper right periphery. The engraver's initials appear in the lower field. |
