| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, ultra-high-relief sculptural portrait of a roaring leopard's head viewed frontally, its mouth open wide to reveal prominent fangs and teeth. The surface exhibits extraordinary three-dimensional modelling, with intricate rendering of the animal's spotted fur, whiskers, brow musculature, and intense forward-gazing eyes. The coin's shaped planchet faithfully follows the contours of the leopard's head, including the ears at the upper periphery, enhancing the naturalistic effect. The antiqued finish accentuates the deep recesses of the design, creating dramatic contrasts between the raised facial features and the surrounding field. No inscriptions appear on this face, allowing the sculptural composition to dominate entirely. |
