Reverse description A Capricorn strides rightward across the field, its goat-fish hybrid form rendered with characteristic provincial detail, a globe positioned beneath its forehooves symbolising world dominion. A cornucopia rises above the creature's back, denoting abundance and imperial favour. The colonial abbreviation appears in the lower exergual field. The reverse composition is enclosed within a beaded border, and the overall design reflects Parium's long-standing use of the Capricorn as a civic emblem, referencing the colony's Augustan foundation and its Julio-Augustan heritage.
