| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a brown bear (Ursus arctos) resting in a nocturnal forest landscape, its head raised and turned toward the viewer with a naturalistic rendering of thick fur texture. A dense coniferous forest forms the background in the middle field. A full moon, rendered in gold gilding, is prominently positioned in the upper field, creating a striking contrast against the antiqued silver surface. The Latin binomial legend 'URSUS ARCTOS' is inscribed along the left border, and 'BROWN BEAR' along the right border, both following the curve of the coin's rim. |
