| Reverse description | The central field displays a crudely engraved agricultural plough rendered in profile, symbolic of the island's farming economy. A six-petalled rosette or asterisk ornament appears below the plough near the base of the field. The circular legend COMMERCE & TRADE surrounds the design along the upper periphery, with a beaded inner border framing the composition. |
