Below, a symmetrical decorative device composed of a stylised floral motif flanked by sprays of wheat or grain ears is displayed, all enclosed within a wreath or vine of leaves that forms a circular border around the design. The composition is formal and heraldic in character, with the botanical elements rendered in low relief against a plain field, and a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. |
