| Obverse description | A standing draped female figure, identified as Ceres, is depicted in high relief at centre, holding a sheaf of wheat ears in her left arm and extending wheat stalks in her right hand toward a radiant sun in the upper right field. Behind her, a detailed pastoral landscape features labourers working in fields and agricultural implements including a harrow and plough scattered in the foreground. The circular legend is separated from the central scene by a raised border, with an exergue below containing the institution inscription and date. |
