| Obverse description | A sailing ship tossed on stormy seas occupies the lower field, with cypress trees rising on either side in the background. Above the horizon, two confronted griffins with raised wings support a cushion bearing two skulls. A circular Latin legend frames the design, with the initials G.S. visible in the exergue below the vessel. |
