| Reverse description | The polar exploration vessel Fram is depicted in dramatic three-quarter view, her bow and hull pressed firmly into jagged pack ice rendered in bold relief across the lower field. The ship's masts, rigging, and bowsprit rise prominently toward the upper portion of the coin, conveying the harsh conditions of the Arctic expedition. The legend FRAM OVER POLHAVET curves along the upper right periphery, while the expedition dates 1893·1896 appear in the lower field above the ice. The engraver's initials IAR are positioned to the lower right. |
