| Reverse description | A highly detailed, large-format front-facing portrait of an Asiatic Lion (Panthera leo persica) fills the entire field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic sculptural precision. The lion's broad muzzle, prominent whiskers, and deeply textured mane with flowing strands radiating outward are rendered with exceptional artistry. The animal gazes directly forward, conveying power and gravitas. No legend or inscription appears on this side; the design is purely figural, commanding the full coin surface within the reeded border. |
