| Reverse description |
The reverse presents an extraordinarily detailed, ultra-high relief depiction of a saker falcon (Falco cherrug), rendered in a dramatic close-up composition occupying virtually the entire field. The bird's frontal portrait dominates the left portion of the design, showcasing finely engraved feather textures across the crown, face, and breast, with deeply struck, naturalistic eyes conveying remarkable intensity. To the right, a secondary profile view of the falcon's head emerges from an intricately textured rocky or lichen-covered background, executed in a contrasting low-relief pattern that fills the upper right quadrant. The lower right field shows the falcon's taloned foot gripping a gnarled branch, rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The overall design exemplifies CIT's 'Smartminting' ultra-high relief technology, producing a coin of striking artistic and numismatic quality. |
