REVERSE

⁣⁢The reverse is common to all coins in the UNESCO series. It depicts the globe with parallels and meridians on the left side and inscriptions of major sites classified as World Heritage by UNESCO on the right side. These inscriptions are as if carved in stone, echoing the Rosetta Stone. The left part of the globe is surrounded by the UNESCO logo and the marking “World Heritage”. The face value is inscribed on the left part of the globe, blending perfectly with the parallels and meridians.⁤⁣
