| Reverse description | The brass centre presents a dynamic depiction of a snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) in a steep descent with wings fully spread, talons extended toward a stylised Arctic research station or industrial installation rendered in fine detail below. The copper-nickel outer ring continues the scene with additional architectural elements of the station extending into the milled border area. The legend SNOWY OWL is engraved along the upper arc of the outer ring, while the geographic coordinates N80°47′ E47°31′ appear in the lower right portion of the ring, identifying the precise Arctic location referenced by the design. |
