A ribbon banner at the top of the inner circle bears the motto 'NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED' in small Latin lettering. The Molossian tricolor flag is depicted in color above the wreath. The green plastic rim is embossed with the four card suits — clubs, hearts, spades, and diamonds — evenly distributed around the circumference. |

| Additional information |
Molossia is a micronation located on a residential property in Dayton, Nevada, self-declared independent from the United States in 1999 under President Kevin Baugh. The Valora, pegged internally to the value of Pillsbury cookie dough, is among the more deliberately absurdist monetary units ever formally issued by any entity calling itself a republic.
