| Reverse description | A full-length figure of a king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) stands centrally in the field, depicted in fine detail with its characteristic upright posture, pale yellow auricular patches, and graduated plumage, rendered in colour on the proof version. The bird stands on rocky, snow-dusted ground, evoking the Falkland Islands habitat. Multiple snowflake motifs are scattered throughout the surrounding field, reinforcing the festive seasonal theme. The inscription 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' arcs along the left periphery and 'KING PENGUIN' along the right, both in raised Latin lettering following the heptagonal format. |
