| Obverse description | A draped allegorical female figure, personifying Commerce or Justice, is depicted seated facing left upon a decorative chair. Her extended right hand holds a balance scale suspended in the field to her left, while her left arm rests upon a cornucopia overflowing with fruits at her side, accompanied by a barrel and bale of goods symbolising trade. A small sailing ship appears in the lower left field. The date 1862 is inscribed in the exergue, and the Latin legend VIVANT REGINA arcs around the upper periphery within a beaded border. |
