| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic naturalistic scene depicting a Phorusrhacidae — commonly known as a terror bird — an extinct family of large flightless predatory birds, rendered in fine engraved detail occupying the central and right portion of the field. The bird is shown in a predatory pose with its massive hooked beak prominently displayed, set against a richly textured background of prehistoric flora and fossil elements along the left margin. The upper arc bears the legend PREDATORS · PHORUSRHACIDAE with the word -EXTINCT- inscribed on a secondary arc below. The date 2020 appears to the left field, and the fineness inscription .999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ is engraved along the lower exergue. |
