| Reverse description | The reverse presents a polychrome colour-printed hippocampus — a mythological creature combining equine and piscine forms — depicted rearing upright on its forelegs, its shimmering bluish-green fish tail curling beneath it. Stylised seaweed and coral elements are rendered to the creature's left, enhancing the aquatic naturalistic setting. A golden crown and decorative foliate ornamentation appear below the central figure, adding heraldic gravitas to the composition. A band of gilded colour runs along the full circumference of the coin's edge, providing a distinctive border framing the design. The inscription 'HIPPOCAMP' appears in the upper field, with the year of issue '2026' placed in the lower field. |
