| Obverse description | Printed in brown tones, the obverse centres on a vignette of Vulcan, the Roman god of the forge, seated upon an anvil with two cherubs to his right and a draped curtain in the background — an allegorical reference to the minting function of the issuing institution. Intricate guilloche work frames the central composition within a formal decorative border, while the denomination and issuer inscriptions are set in classical letterpress across the upper and lower panels. The series designation and decree reference appear in smaller lettering within the lower margin. |
