| Reverse description | A finely engraved portrait of a Balkhash tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) is depicted in three-quarter view, the animal emerging from a naturalistic habitat of reeds and tall grasses rendered in intricate detail across the field. The tiger's muscular form and facial features are realised with careful attention to texture and shading.
