| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a richly detailed intaglio allegorical scene of agricultural and pastoral life: a male figure on horseback leads a harvest procession, flanked by workers carrying sheaves and barrels, with sheep in the foreground and a fertile rural landscape extending into the background. A large oval blank cartouche occupies the left portion of the design, likely serving as the watermark window. Ornate urn and scroll vignettes fill the lateral borders, with the denomination repeated in numerals at lower left and right. |
