Description de l’avers A frigate sailing right with a short hull curving up to the top of a very high poop-deck. The prow joins the deck rail and the lower part of the open sprit sail joins the hull. The mainmast has no staysail. The ensign is wide with three hollows at the top and flies from a flagstaff set well forward of the stern. The exergue is small with pointed lines. The border is of straight, square-ended teeth. No beading.
