| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic ultra-high relief depiction of a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) viewed head-on with its jaws agape, exposing multiple rows of serrated teeth surrounding a deeply sculpted, concave oral cavity. The shark's head fills the entirety of the non-circular shaped flan, which is contoured to mirror the silhouette of the animal including a prominent dorsal fin at the upper right. Turbulent ocean waves rendered in fine relief surround the lower portion of the shark's head, enhancing the sense of dynamic motion. The entire composition is finished in antiqued silver, accentuating the extraordinary sculptural depth and texture of the design. No legends appear on the reverse. |
