The denomination '600' is inscribed vertically along the left side of the field, while three quatrefoil floral ornaments are arranged vertically along the right side. The date '1754' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by pellets. The design is unlettered, with decorative cross-shaped stops flanking the base of the cypher, and the whole is contained within a boldly reeded border. |
