| Reverse description | The reverse features a vibrantly colourised depiction of a Short-tailed Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio brevicauda) rendered in polychrome enamel over a frosted proof field, with detailed wing patterning showcasing deep black, iridescent blue, and orange-yellow markings characteristic of the species. The butterfly is shown in lateral view, perched upon a cluster of small white blossoms on a green stem, occupying the central field. The date 2006 is inscribed in the upper field, and the engraver's initials ST appear at the lower right. The surrounding mirror-like field provides strong contrast to the colourised central design. |
