| Reverse description | The reverse presents a striking ultra-high-relief portrait of a Coast Guard rescue swimmer emerging from the water, rendered in extraordinary sculptural detail. The subject wears a tactical rescue helmet bearing an embossed Coast Guard medical emblem on the forehead plate, with side-mounted straps and communications equipment depicted with technical precision. A large diving mask with dark-colored lenses dominates the centre of the composition, through which the swimmer's eyes are visible in a deeply three-dimensional effect enhanced by selective colorization. A hexagonal honeycomb pattern frames the upper field behind the helmet, and water texture fills the lower field. To the left, the legends SO OTHERS MAY LIVE and COAST GUARD RESCUE REAL HERO appear in vertical orientation alongside a stylized logo mark, while the serial number 9K496 appears to the lower right of the mask. |
