| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, gold-plated high-relief effigy of a beetle — consistent with a species associated with the 'Black Kingdom' insect series — centrally placed against a smooth, darkened matte field. The insect's thorax, elytra, and articulated legs are rendered with exceptional naturalistic precision, the gold plating contrasting dramatically against the antique silver ground. An ornamental border of incised spiral and geometric motifs encircles the inner field. The inscription BLACK KINGDOM appears in small Roman capitals along the lower exergue. |
