| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, ultra-high-relief portrait of a juvenile Smilodon — the iconic Pleistocene saber-toothed felid — rendered in antique finish with exceptional naturalistic artistry. The young animal's face dominates nearly the entire field, depicted in a three-quarter view with finely engraved fur texture conveying remarkable depth and realism. The eyes are inlaid with amber-colored inserts, lending the portrait a vivid, lifelike quality. The emerging upper canine teeth are visible at the lower portion of the design. The legend BABY SMILODON 2013 and the silver content designation 4 OZ AG are inscribed vertically along the left inner border of the coin. |
