| Reverse description | A Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) is portrayed in left-facing profile, rendered in fine detail with its distinctive crested head, long neck, and patterned plumage. The legend CREATIVITY arcs above the bird in the upper field, while the denomination 50 CENTS appears in the lower left field. The Hoatzin, also known as the Stinkbird or Canje Pheasant, is Guyana's national bird and is native to the Amazon and Orinoco basin; it is celebrated for its prehistoric character, being distantly related to the ancient Archaeopteryx. The overall design is executed in a clean, medallic style consistent with Franklin Mint production standards of the period. |
