Narrative beginning

The sequence opens with new life

A mother bends toward her cub, establishing the first chapter through a parent-and-newborn relationship. The treatment remains editorial and restrained, not seasonal or gift-driven.

Two metal expressions

One design, two material voices

The two standard 30-gram coins share the annual design while retaining independent specifications and denominations. Their obverses keep the Temple and date; their reverses carry the common narrative.
