| Obverse description | Central device featuring a caduceus — a winged staff entwined by two serpents — flanked on either side by a palm tree, all set against a lightly textured ground. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circular legend CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D'ALGER arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1921 appears in the lower field between two small stars. The overall design evokes North African colonial iconography combined with classical Mercurial symbolism. |
