| Reverse description | The reverse presents a boldly conceived split design divided along a central vertical axis: the left half depicts the concentric growth rings of a transversely sectioned tree trunk, while the right half renders an enlarged human fingerprint with finely engraved ridge detail. The two motifs share a continuous circular outline, visually uniting organic and human patterns in a symbolic evocation of life's recurring cycles. The legend CIRCLES OF LIFE is inscribed in uppercase letters across the upper field, and the date 2022 appears in the lower exergue. |
