| Obverse description | Two Easter Island Moai monolithic stone figures depicted in profile occupying the right and lower-centre fields, the larger bust rendered in high relief facing left with pronounced brow and elongated features characteristic of Polynesian statuary. To the upper left, a stylised floral and foliate ornamental device rendered in incuse line work. The date 1722 — commemorating the European discovery of Easter Island by Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen — appears in the field below the ornamental motif. A three-line legend in the lower left field reads EASTER ISLAND / ISLA DE PASCUA / RAPA NUI in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | The entire egg-shaped field is covered with an intricate all-over acanthus scroll and foliate arabesque design in high relief against a finely textured matte ground, evoking the decorative vocabulary of ornamental Easter eggs. Sinuous stems terminate in spiralling volutes and stylised leaf motifs, filling the field to the rim without any legend or inscription. The interplay between the polished raised scrollwork and the frosted background creates a pronounced contrasting decorative effect across the full surface. |
