| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) striding to the left in its natural habitat, rendered in high sculptural relief. The animal is shown amid lush tropical vegetation including tall grasses, ferns, mushrooms, and ground foliage, with rocks beneath its feet conveying a jungle floor setting. The denomination $25 is inscribed in the lower centre of the field, while the fineness mark .925 STERLING appears to the lower right. The overall composition emphasises the endangered character of the species through naturalistic, detailed engraving against a polished proof background. |
