| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid coloured enamel depiction of a Yellow Butterflyfish (Parche Amarillo) rendered in yellow and teal tones, set against a deep blue underwater field with green seabed foliage at the base and a coral branch to the left, all elements executed in polychrome colour application. The fish is shown in profile facing right, with fine engraved scale detailing enhanced by the coloured overlay. The curved legend 'FAUNA DEL CARIBE' arcs along the upper left rim, and 'PARCHE AMARILLO' continues along the upper right, separated by a raised dot. The date '1996' appears in the lower central field beneath the marine composition, accompanied by the engraver's mark. |
