| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a fully spread, dorsally viewed specimen of Lycaena virgaureae (the scarce copper butterfly) rendered in vivid polychrome enamel coloring, with deep crimson-red wings bordered in dark brown-black, occupying the central field. The background is engraved with crossed and overlapping grass stems and plant stalks in fine relief against a brushed gold field, conveying the butterfly's natural habitat. The Latin binomial legend 'LYCAENA VIRGAUREAE' is inscribed along the lower arc in bold raised letters. |
