Reverse description	The reverse presents a highly detailed and partially colorized naturalistic composition depicting a seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) in mid-flight, with its red elytra bearing seven black spots spread open to reveal the translucent flight wings beneath. The insect is shown perched on a blade of grass in the lower central field, while a flowering plant with small blossoms rises in the upper background, rendered in uncolored relief against the coin's metallic surface. The coloring, applied selectively to the beetle's elytra and body, creates a vivid contrast with the silver-toned copper-nickel ground. The legend SIEBENPUNKT MARIENKÄFER curves along the lower arc of the coin in bold incuse lettering. The engraver's initial A appears discretely near the grass stem at lower left.
