| Reverse description | The reverse is struck in the form of a stylised rose with stem and foliage, the entire coin shaped to follow the contours of the bloom. A fully open rose blossom is rendered in high relief at the centre, with spiralling petals depicted in a decorative, graphic style. The stem descends diagonally, accompanied by two leaves with incised veining. The smooth, mirror-like surfaces of the petals contrast with the sculpted detail of the foliage, creating an elegant horticultural motif appropriate to a collector bullion issue. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face. |
