| Reverse description | The reverse presents an extreme close-up portrait of an owl's face rendered in exceptional ultra-high relief with an antique finish, filling the entire coin field with striking naturalistic detail. The feathered facial disc is meticulously sculpted with layered plumage textures, while the owl's two large forward-facing eyes are inset with gold-coloured inserts, lending them a vivid, lifelike quality. The sharply hooked beak curves prominently downward at centre. The engraver's signature P. De Greef and the inscription HAUT RELIEF appear along the left field, while the fineness mark 5 OZ .999 AG is inscribed along the upper rim. A decorative engraver's monogram is visible in the lower field. |
