| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed naturalistic depiction of the White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) in high relief, capturing the distinctive elongated body, armored scutes, and characteristic rostrum of this large freshwater fish. The design commemorates the species' extinction, formally declared on December 23, 2019. The sculptural rendering is executed in antique finish, accentuating the fish's textured surface and anatomical features against a plain field. |
