| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) surging upward with its jaws open wide, emerging dramatically from a colorized rendering of the ocean surface. The coloration technique (pad printing) imparts vivid blue-green tones to the sea, contrasting sharply with the uncolored silver of the shark. The legend GREAT WHITE SHARK arcs along the lower field, while the inscription 1 oz .999 SILVER appears above, attesting to the coin's bullion specifications. |
