| Reverse description | Two whales are depicted in dynamic motion against a circular field: a large whale in the lower portion rises from churning water with its textured body and tail rendered in high relief, while a second, sleeker whale leaps diagonally across the upper field in a powerful breaching pose. The composition conveys a vivid sense of movement and marine environment, with stylised water splashes enhancing the naturalistic effect. The denomination '2 1/2 c' appears in cursive script in the upper field, accompanied by the engraver's initials 'PB'. A plain inner circle frames the entire design. |
