| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed relief of a Marco Polo sheep (Ovis ammon polii) standing in profile facing right, its massive, tightly spiralled horns rendered with great naturalistic precision. Rocky mountainous terrain and a stylised tree occupy the background field, evoking the high-altitude habitat of this Central Asian species. The legend FAUNA OF ASIA arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script, while MARCOPOLO DEER is inscribed along the lower rim. The date 1998 appears in the lower left field. |
