| Reverse description | A highly detailed relief depiction of a Megalodon shark dominates the field, shown in a dramatic predatory pose with jaws open, pursuing a much smaller whale rendered beneath it, conveying the immense scale of the prehistoric predator. Coral and seafloor elements are visible in the lower field, adding naturalistic depth to the underwater scene. The legend PREHISTORIC LIFE curves along the upper border, while MEGALODON and the date range 10.3-2.6 MIO. YEARS BC appear in the central field alongside the year 2025. Geological period inscriptions — CRETACEOUS 145-66 MIO. YEARS BC, TERTIARY 66-2.6 MIO. YEARS BC, and QUATERNARY 2.6 MIO. YEARS BC-TODAY — are engraved along the left, lower, and right borders respectively, providing a paleontological timeline. |
