| Reverse description | An ornate Fabergé-inspired egg design set against a rich red guilloche enamel background with a textured scale-like pattern. A golden Art Nouveau spray of lily-of-the-valley rises from stylized dark green foliage rendered in enamel at the lower portion of the field, its delicate arching stems and spherical blossoms gilded in yellow gold. Three inset Swarovski crystals are embedded within the composition, adding brilliance to the decorative motif. The entire design is contained within a plain polished silver border following the oval contour of the coin. |
