| Obverse description | A nude female figure crouches in a sensuous, classically inspired pose, her back turned toward the viewer and her head inclined downward, occupying the full field of the coin. Cascading droplets or pellets, possibly representing a shower of gold, flow diagonally across the upper left portion of the design, partially framing the figure. The legend AURUM DIVINUM is inscribed in two lines in the upper right field in bold Latin lettering. The composition reflects an Art Nouveau or Symbolist aesthetic, with fine engraved detail in the figure's musculature and drapery. The design is contained within a plain raised rim. |

| Reverse description | A stylized ornamental cross occupies the central field, its four arms terminating in elaborate foliate flourishes adorned with oak or vine leaves, rendered in a decorative Art Nouveau style. A small circular medallion at the center of the cross bears the Roman numeral I, denoting the denomination. The legend PRO PROSPERITATE MUNDI arcs along the upper periphery, while ARGENTEUS is inscribed along the lower periphery, both in bold Latin capitals. The figure 1000 appears in small characters at the base of the cross, below center. Two small rosette or star ornaments flank the lower legend as decorative stops, and the design is enclosed within a plain raised rim. |
