| Reverse description | The reverse features a deeply recessed, darkened field evoking the ocean floor, upon which rests a finely detailed relief of an open pearl oyster shell in antique silver finish. At the center of the shell, a genuine inlaid natural pearl is set as a three-dimensional appliqué, representing the traditional pearl-diving heritage of the Mariana Islands. The curved legend 'MARINE LIFE PROTECTION' arcs along the upper periphery, with the subtitle 'PEARLDIVING' immediately below it, and the date '2005' inscribed at the lower exergue. |
