Reverse description The reverse of this copper pattern piece bears the same high-relief design as the obverse, struck in incuse (mirror-image) rendering, resulting in a recessed composition that is the inverse of the primary face. The polar bear family group, Arctic landscape, icebergs, and birds in flight are all present in incuse form, with the legend KING OF THE ARCTIC, the fineness mark 5 OZ .999 AG, and the engraver's signature P De Greef appearing in reverse relief. This presentation is characteristic of a die trial or pattern reverse used to assess the die's geometry and strike quality.
