| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid colored scene depicting two blazing meteorites streaking across the sky above a foreground figure of a man accompanied by a camel, with a mountainous desert landscape rendered in the background. A genuine fragment of the Tazerzait meteorite is embedded within the design as an insert, providing a tangible connection to the actual fall event. The composition is richly colored using applied pigmentation technique, contrasting with the antique-finished silver surround. Inscriptions around and within the design identify the meteorite by name, location, and date of fall, as well as the coin's date and silver specification. |
