| Obverse description | A highly detailed proof-finish depiction of a mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla oratoria) rendered in high relief against a mirrored field, shown in a naturalistic lateral pose with its characteristic raptorial claws extended and segmented abdomen visible. A stylized coral branch occupies the upper right of the field, with additional aquatic flora suggested along the lower register. The Cyrillic legend РАК-БОГОМОЛ arcs along the upper border, while the Latin binomial scientific name Oratosquilla oratoria curves along the lower left in a circular arrangement. |
