| Obverse description | At center, a caduceus — the winged staff entwined by two serpents — crossed diagonally with a grain stalk bearing leaves and an ear of wheat, bound together at the intersection. The legend CURACAO arcs across the upper field in large Latin capitals, with the date 1821 positioned in the lower field below the central devices. The design symbolizes trade and agriculture, emblematic of the island's colonial economic identity under Dutch rule. |
