| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, full-color depiction of the Death's-head Hawkmoth (Acherontia atropos) displayed with wings fully spread, rendered in naturalistic polychrome coloring showing the characteristic brown-patterned forewings and vivid yellow-banded hindwings and abdomen. Above the moth, a large colorized caterpillar of the same species is shown resting on an oleander branch with leaves and white blossoms, the botanical elements rendered in monochrome relief contrasting with the fully colored insect specimens. The Latin binomial 'Acherontia atropos' is inscribed across the lower central field. The Abkhazian name 'АХЬБАҨ АХЬШЬПАРПАЛЫКЬ' is incused along the lower rim in Cyrillic characters. The overall composition is executed in a naturalist illustrative style combining selective color application with fine engraving. |
