| Obverse description | At centre, a young oak sapling in bud rises from the ground, symbolising new growth and renewal, set against a radiant rising sun in the background whose rays emanate outward across the field. A flowing ribbon banner bearing the Latin legend arcs above the shoot. The overall composition conveys a neo-classical allegorical style, with the legend divided above and below the central motif across two lines, dated 1957. |

| Reverse description | At the centre of the reverse, a hexagonal cartouche bearing the Roman numeral 'X' above the inscription 'DUCAT' forms the focal point of an elaborate six-pointed cross or star design, with stylised fleur-de-lis and foliate lily motifs decorating each of the six angles between the arms. The fineness mark '980' appears at the lower centre, just below the cross. The peripheral Latin legend is arranged along the upper and lower rim, separated by small rosette stops, with 'AUREUS MAGNUS' prominently displayed along the lower arc. |
