| Obverse description | Central design features a classically rendered allegorical female figure, kneeling in a graceful contrapposto pose and draped in flowing robes, flanked on either side by two nude putti in dynamic postures. The composition is executed in a Renaissance-inspired medallic style with fine engraved detail throughout. The Latin legend CONCORDIA SALUS arcs across the upper field, while GERMANIAE is inscribed along the lower periphery. The date 1961 appears in two lines to the right of the central group. The plain inner field provides a clean backdrop emphasizing the sculptural quality of the allegorical figures. |
