| Reverse description | A left-facing African elephant is depicted in the central field, rendered in a bold, naturalistic style characteristic of mid-20th century colonial coinage. The date '1944' appears in the exergue below the elephant. The engraver's stylized initials 'AB' are positioned discreetly behind the animal's tail. The word 'PATT' appears above, indicating the pattern status of the piece. |
