Silver coin with rounded edges, featuring a lion on all fours facing left. The lion has a long mane covering its neck, head, and shoulders. Its front right paw is raised, and its tail curls up and back. The lion appears to have a snarling expression with its mouth slightly open, revealing its teeth. The background of the coin is plain. The coin rests on a white surface.
