| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic close-up representation of a human iris centered on the coin's aperture, which serves as the pupil. Radiating filaments and fibrous striations extend outward from the central hole across the entire field, rendered with exceptional high-relief detail to replicate the texture of the iris. Silhouetted human figures are visible within the lower portion of the iris pattern, reinforcing the theme of surveillance. The legend BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU arcs along the upper periphery in bold block lettering, and the date 1984 — a reference to George Orwell's dystopian novel — appears in large numerals at the base. The antique finish enhances the dramatic, unsettling character of the composition. |
