| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely modeled African elephant in bold high relief, depicted in left-facing profile striding across a ground line that extends across the lower field. The animal is rendered with naturalistic detail, conveying mass and movement characteristic of Beaufrère's sculptural style. The legend 'PATT' appears in the upper field above the elephant, serving as an abbreviation for 'pattern' to denote the trial status of this strike. The date '1944' is inscribed in large numerals in the exergue below the ground line. The composition is enclosed within a continuous milled border. |
