| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid full-colour depiction of the Madagascan sunset moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus) rendered against a lush green tropical fern background. The butterfly is shown with wings spread, its distinctive iridescent orange, teal, and black wing patterns faithfully reproduced in polychrome colour printing. A large magnifying glass occupies the central field, its lens framing and enlarging the moth specimen in a three-dimensional optical effect achieved through an integrated magnifying lens insert. The species name Chrysiridia rhipheus is inscribed in italic lettering along the upper inner rim of the coin. |
