| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, dramatic depiction of an extinct cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) in three-quarter profile, its massive head turned toward the viewer with jaws open wide, revealing prominent teeth and fangs. A skeletal fossilized foreclaw is rendered in the left field, emerging from a rocky cave-wall background etched with cave art motifs, emphasizing the prehistoric nature of the subject. The upper legend PREDATORS · URSUS SPELAEUS arcs along the rim, with the word EXTINCT prominently displayed on a banner beneath it. The date 2021 appears in the left mid-field, and the fineness inscription .999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ is engraved along the lower reverse field. |
