| Reverse description | A richly coloured nocturnal Scandinavian landscape scene occupies the entire reverse field, featuring a foreground of a lakeside setting with a beached rowing boat, a windswept tree, and a small rabbit amid snow-dusted ground, rendered in fine relief. The middle ground shows a dark coniferous forest silhouette, above which a brilliantly coloured fireball meteorite streaks diagonally across a star-filled night sky rendered in deep black, with a full moon partially obscured by clouds at left. In the upper portion of the field, an inset rectangular fragment of the actual Muonionalusta iron meteorite is embedded, displaying characteristic Widmanstätten pattern texture. The legend 'MUONIONALUSTA IRON METEORITE' arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin capitals, and the date '2011' appears in the lower exergue. |
