| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) swimming diagonally across the field, its intricately rendered scutes and scaled flippers rendered in sharp sculptural detail. The background is divided between a darkened, dome-shaped underwater scene with rising air bubbles and a polished reflective field suggesting light filtering through water, with coral and sea anemone motifs in the lower field. The series title OCEAN FIVE is inscribed in bold lettering along the upper arc, while the inscription 5oz Au 999.9 and the date 2022 appear in the lower right field. The LEV mint mark is present on the reverse. |
