| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a honeybee in three-quarter view, rendered with exceptional engraving precision showing the insect's textured abdomen, membranous wings, pollen baskets, and compound eye. To the right, a circular inset displays a stylised bee silhouette set against a honeycomb pattern, evoking the waggle dance by which bees communicate the direction and distance of nectar sources. The background field is filled with an intricate arrangement of hexagonal honeycomb cells interspersed with floral motifs, extending across the full width of the nonagonal flan. The date '2023' appears in large numerals along the lower exergue, partially overlapping the honeycomb background. The composition as a whole is a tour de force of low-relief engraving celebrating the ecological importance of the honeybee. |
