| Obverse description | Astraea, the goddess of justice, seated in three-quarter view upon billowing clouds, her drapery flowing about her lower body. In her right hand she holds a balance (scales of justice), while her left hand extends a branch; a cornucopia rests at her side. The circular Latin legend surrounds the field, with a secondary inscription in the lower exergual area reading PAX AQVISC. SANCITA / AN.LIB.IVR.MDCCXLVIII, commemorating the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle. The deeply sculpted high-relief design is characteristic of the mid-eighteenth-century medallic engraving style of Martin Holtzhey. |
