| Reverse description | Full-length allegorical figure of Mercury, the Roman god of trade and commerce, depicted as a winged, semi-draped male striding dynamically to the right and holding a caduceus aloft in his right hand. To his left, a large ship's anchor rests amid a cornucopia of flowers and foliage, symbolising maritime trade. In the background to the right, an industrial landscape is rendered in fine detail, featuring a steam locomotive, factory buildings, oil derricks, and a rocket, representing commerce through the ages. The circular legend MERCURY · GOD OF TRADE & COMMERCE runs along the upper periphery, and the date 2008 appears in the lower exergue flanked by floral ornaments. |
