| Reverse description | A highly detailed full-colour illustration of a peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) dominates the field, depicted in dynamic flight with wings fully spread and talons extended toward the viewer. The bird's characteristic dark slate-grey upperparts, barred rufous underparts, and distinctive facial markings are rendered with naturalistic precision against a colourised background featuring rocky pinnacles and coniferous forest below a partly clouded sky. The legend 'THE PEREGRINE' arcs along the upper border in incuse relief, while 'WORLD'S WILDLIFE' curves along the lower border, flanking a small globe motif at the bottom centre. |
