| Reverse description | A large yin-yang symbol dominates the field, its two interlocking sections each rendered in contrasting finishes through selective black ruthenium plating. Within the dark upper half, a stylised tribal crocodile is depicted in mirror-polished relief, its sinuous body curving along the swirling boundary of the motif. Within the lighter lower half, a stylised tribal jaguar, rendered with spotted patterning, crouches in the field. Each half contains a circular void representing the opposing element, reinforcing the duality theme of the composition. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
