| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a running lioness in full stride, occupying the majority of the field and rendered with exceptional relief and fine engraving. The animal is shown in dynamic lateral motion, facing right with its head turned toward the viewer, set against a panoramic African savanna background featuring rocky outcrops and scattered acacia trees engraved in the field. The legend THE LION arcs along the upper rim, while the inscription WORLD'S WILDLIFE curves along a raised banner at the lower rim, centred by a small globe motif highlighting the African continent. |
