| Reverse description | A vivid colourised depiction of a Temnodontosaurus ichthyosaur dominates the centre field, rendered by palaeoartist Robert Nicholls with naturalistic detail in teal and grey tones, its elongated snout and large eye characteristic of the species. Beneath the creature, a colourised fossil skull of Temnodontosaurus is depicted in warm amber tones, referencing the specimen discovered by Mary Anning in 1811. To the right, an engraved prehistoric plant fossil provides additional palaeontological context, alongside the engraver's initials RN. A decorative scroll motif appears at the left periphery. The legend TEMNODONTOSAURUS arcs along the upper border, while MARY ANNING 1811 is inscribed along the lower border. |
