| Reverse description | The reverse presents a naturalistic, multi-figure composition depicting the common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) in three views: a large adult hippopotamus in full profile facing left dominates the lower foreground, rendered with fine textural detail; a resting adult is shown in middle ground; and a frontal portrait of a third individual appears in the upper right field. To the left, a circular medallion vignette depicts a hippopotamus head in close-up relief. A decorative ribbon banner in the upper field bears the Latin binomial legend Hippopotamus amphibius in script lettering. The date 2010 is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
