| Obverse description | Left-facing figure of a miner in the field, derived from a sculptural work by Constantin Meunier, rendered in relief with strong Art Deco influence. A mining lamp appears to the right of the figure, with the engraver's signature RAU below. The legend ESSAI appears in the field, identifying this piece as a pattern or trial strike. |
