| Reverse description | A highly detailed steampunk-style mechanical fish rendered in copper-plated relief dominates the central medallion of the reverse, depicted in left-facing profile with an open jaw, riveted scaled body, protruding dorsal spines, a large circular mechanical eye, and floral embellishments at its joints. The fish is set within a circular frame surrounded by an elaborate ornamental composition featuring symmetrical scrollwork, stylized ocean waves, tentacled sea creatures at each lateral corner, and a decorative scallop shell at the apex. A rope-encircled anchor is prominently displayed at the base of the design within its own circular cartouche. The overall composition is executed in antiqued silver with selective copper plating, creating a striking two-tone contrast between the mechanical fish and its maritime decorative surround. No inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
