Reverse description A highly detailed bust portrait of the extinct Falkland Islands Wolf (Dusicyon australis) dominates the central field, depicted facing slightly left with fine fur texture rendered in high relief against a darkened background. To the lower left, a bleached animal skull is shown in low relief, serving as a memento mori symbol of the species' extinction. The legend 'PREDATORS' and the binomial scientific name 'DUSICYON AUSTRALIS' arch along the upper periphery, flanking a raised inner circle, while the word 'EXTINCT' appears prominently within the inner circle above the animal's head. The date '2020' is inscribed to the left, and the purity and weight inscription '999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ' appears along the lower exergue.
