| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dorsal view of a human brain rendered entirely in three-dimensional high relief, with meticulously detailed convolutions, gyri, and sulci covering both cerebral hemispheres in a highly naturalistic anatomical style. The longitudinal fissure divides the two hemispheres along the central axis, and the intricate surface texture of the cerebral cortex is faithfully reproduced across the entire field. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse, allowing the sculptural form to dominate the composition. The overall silhouette of the coin follows the organic contour of the brain, giving the piece a distinctive sculptural character. |
