| Reverse description | A colorized depiction of a Lyretail Anthias (Pseudanthias squamipinnis) occupies the central field, rendered in vivid red and violet tones against a textured dark background evoking an underwater seabed environment. The fish is shown in left-facing profile with its characteristic elongated lyre-shaped tail fin and flowing ventral fins clearly delineated. The series title SEA'S AMAZING WILDLIFE arcs across the upper field in an informal script lettering style. The species name LYRETAIL ANTHIAS and the date 2014 are inscribed in the lower field, and the design is bordered by the same ornamental rosette device ring as the obverse. |
