| Obverse description | A nude male heroic figure stands in high relief on rocky ground, carrying a semi-conscious female figure in his arms. To the left, the winged skeletal personification of Death, bearing a scythe, recoils into the background. The composition conveys a dramatic rescue scene with no legend in the field. |
