| Reverse description | Within a rectangular raised border, a finely detailed panoramic African wildlife scene depicts a hippopotamus emerging from a body of water with its mouth open wide, revealing its teeth. The animal is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation including palm fronds in the lower left, marsh grasses, and acacia trees in the background, with low hills and clouds completing the naturalistic landscape. The entire composition is rendered in high relief against a polished proof field, conveying depth and movement. The legend HIPPOPOTAMUS is inscribed in bold raised lettering across the upper field. |
