| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed, three-dimensional effigy of a honeybee rendered in an ornate baroque style, gold-plated and occupying the full field of the coin. The bee's body is elaborately decorated with scrollwork and filigree motifs; the thorax and abdomen display intricate relief engraving with a segmented, jewel-like quality, and the compound eyes are set with amber-colored stones. The outstretched wings are rendered in openwork filigree with flowing acanthus-scroll detailing against a darkened field. The background consists of a finely engraved sunburst pattern of overlapping petal-like scales radiating from the center, framed by a gold-plated outer rim, creating a dramatic contrast between the antiqued silver ground and the gilded bee. |
