On the reverse, a powerful eagle soars across the coin’s surface, wings outstretched as the sun rises below. The composition emphasizes freedom, strength, and national renewal, reinforced by the expansive sky and clean, balanced layout. The raised details and layered textures are especially striking on coins preserved in brilliant uncirculated condition.
