| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, realistically rendered portrait of a rhinoceros head in left-facing profile, occupying the majority of the field and conveying the animal's characteristic horns, wrinkled hide, and powerful musculature. A vertical rule divides the right portion of the field, within which the word IRIDIUM is inscribed vertically in bold capital letters. The date 2015 appears in the upper field above the rhinoceros portrait, while the fineness and weight specification 1/25 Oz 999 is inscribed along the lower portion of the field, with the elemental symbol Ir positioned to the lower right within the divided panel. |
