| Obverse description | Two allegorical figures flank a large palm tree in the central field. To the left, a cherubic winged figure kneels in profile, gesturing toward the tree, while to the right a standing draped female figure holds an object and faces left. The composition is rendered in a bold, somewhat naive engraving style consistent with mid-17th-century colonial token production. The field is unlettered, with the design occupying the full flan. |
