| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of the balsa wood raft Kon-Tiki under full sail occupies the central field, shown underway on stylized open ocean waves rendered in high relief. The raft's bamboo deck, multiple masts, and billowing square sails are faithfully reproduced, evoking Thor Heyerdahl's legendary 1947 trans-Pacific voyage. The legend .999 FINE SILVER curves along the upper left periphery and FIVE TROY OUNCES along the upper right. The name KON-TIKI and the date 1986 appear in two lines in the lower field beneath the waves. |
