| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of an Asiatic flying squirrel (Pteromys volans) in full lateral leap occupies the central field, rendered with naturalistic fur texture and an extended bushy tail. Sparse stylised trees and branches appear in the background, evoking the animal's woodland habitat. The curved legend '· ENDANGERED WILDLIFE ·' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin letters, while '5 WON' is inscribed in the lower central exergue area and 'ASIATIC VOLANT' curves along the lower periphery. |
