| Reverse description | A stylised orca whale leaps dynamically across the central field, rendered in high relief against a plain background. A horizontal line bisects the field, through which the large stylised lettering O.R.C.A. is displayed in the lower portion of the design. The legend TREASURES OF THE SEA curves along the upper periphery in raised capital letters. The overall composition combines graphic boldness with a naturalistic portrayal of the marine mammal. |
