| Reverse description | Reverse depicts a stylized ladybug rendered in high relief at the center of the coin field, its domed elytra set with a red crystal gemstone simulating the characteristic coloration of the insect. The ladybug's head, antennae, and segmented body are delineated with fine detail, with black-enameled spots accenting the wings. Two circular pierced holes flank the central motif at the left and right, through which a red decorative cord is passed, enabling the coin to be worn as a lucky charm or pendant. The field is otherwise plain and mirror-polished in keeping with the proof finish. |
