| Obverse description | Central device features a richly detailed bouquet of flowers and foliage, prominently including a rose at left, a mayflower at center, and a thistle at right, the stems bound together at the base with a flowing ribbon tied in a bow, symbolizing the agricultural character of Lower Canada. The composition fills the field generously, rendered in moderately high relief with fine engraving detail. The peripheral legend reads *AGRICULTURE & COMMERCE* along the upper arc, with BAS-CANADA inscribed along the lower arc, all in Latin characters separated by five-pointed stars serving as stops. |
