| Reverse description | A highly naturalistic full-color printed depiction of a greater blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata) dominates the central field, its mantle and tentacles displaying the characteristic iridescent blue-ringed markings rendered in vivid polychrome against a dark submarine background with coral formations. Three-dimensional sculpted white coral elements in the field integrate the color print with the minted surface. The legend MARINE LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper periphery, and the scientific binomial HAPALOCHLAENA LUNULATA is inscribed along the lower periphery, both in raised Latin lettering. A continuous beaded border surrounds the decorated field. |
