| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatically stylized allegorical scene representing death at sea, rendered in a bold, modernist artistic style. In the lower left, turbulent waves crash around a drowning or struggling figure. The central and right portions of the field depict storm imagery including rain clouds, lightning, and a partially submerged cross or mast, evoking shipwreck and maritime tragedy.
