| Reverse description | A highly detailed relief depiction of the Matterhorn dominates the central field, enclosed within an inner circle, portraying the iconic pyramidal peak of the Swiss-Italian Alps with its characteristic rocky ridges and snow-streaked faces rendered in fine sculptural detail. The mountain rises from a broad base that fills the lower portion of the inner field. The circumscribed legend 'FAMOUS PLACES OF THE WORLD' arcs along the upper border, while the name 'MATTERHORN' is inscribed in bold raised lettering along the lower margin, all in Latin script. |
