| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of an adult Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) perched on a weathered branch with wings fully spread, facing left. The bird is set against a dramatic wilderness panorama featuring a towering rocky butte to the left, a forested valley below, rolling mountains in the background, and a second Bald Eagle in flight visible in the upper right field. The legend BALD EAGLE arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin characters, and the date 2018 appears in the lower left field. The entire design is rendered in antiqued finish, enhancing the sculptural depth and naturalistic detail of the composition. |
