The fish's characteristic white body bands and dark-edged fins are rendered with fine engraving detail against a polished field. The scientific name AMPHIPRION OCELLARIS is inscribed in bold lettering arcing along the upper periphery within a darkened border band. |

| Additional information |
The BEAC issues collector gold in fractional weights with some regularity, but 0.0311 g — exactly one-thousandth of a troy ounce — places this among the smallest gold coins commercially produced anywhere. At that weight, the gold content is worth only a few dollars at spot, making the premium over melt almost entirely a collector's proposition rather than a bullion one.
