| Reverse description | A vivid full-colour enamel appliqué occupies the central field, depicting two tropical marine fish swimming amid coral formations against a turquoise underwater background; the larger fish in the upper register displays a bold black, red, and yellow colouration, while the smaller fish in the lower register exhibits striped markings in gold, teal, and black. Coral growths in orange and red tones frame the composition to the right and lower portions of the scene. The coloured central disc is bordered by a raised beaded ring. The legend MARINE-LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. |
