| Reverse description | A highly detailed, close-up relief depiction of a Pterygotus, an extinct giant sea scorpion, dominates the field. The creature is shown in a dynamic, menacing posture with its large serrated chelae prominently extended to the left, its segmented body and broad telson fan visible to the right, and its compound eyes rendered in high relief at center. Scattered fossil elements and rocky substrate fill the background field, evoking a prehistoric aquatic environment. The arc legend PREDATORS · PTERYGOTUS appears along the upper periphery above a subordinate curved banner inscribed EXTINCT. The date 2021 is inscribed in the left field near the chelae, and the fineness and weight designation .999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ is engraved along the lower right field. |
