| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief portrait bust of a puma (Puma concolor) is rendered in left-facing profile, occupying the majority of the field. The naturalistic design showcases the animal's spotted facial texture, prominent whiskers, and alert expression with great sculptural depth. A beaded inner border frames the composition along the coin's circumference. The date 1979 is inscribed in the lower field beneath the puma's head. The overall style reflects the Franklin Mint's characteristic high-relief wildlife artistry. |
