| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief effigy of a puma (Puma concolor) is depicted in a crouching, forward-facing posture atop a rocky outcrop, rendered with naturalistic texture throughout the fur and surrounding stone. The legend BIG CATS OF THE WORLD curves along the upper periphery. The denomination $250 and the fineness hallmark Au.999.9 appear in the lower field. The mirrored proof fields provide a strong contrast against the frosted devices. |
