The shield is rendered in moderate relief typical of colonial milled gold coinage. The circular Latin legend NOMINA MAGNA SEQUOR surrounds the arms, while the mint mark and assayer's initial appear divided at the base of the design, flanked by decorative star stops. The whole is enclosed within a fine milled border. |
