A circular vignette at lower left contains a detailed bouquet of tropical flowers, while a corresponding vignette at lower right presents an abundant grouping of tropical fruits including cocoa pods, bananas, and pineapple. Geometric ornamental panels in the African decorative style divide the composition, with the bilingual counterfeiting warning inscribed in a cartouche at lower centre.
