| Obverse description | A winged allegorical female figure gestures toward two miners actively working to rescue trapped comrades; in the lower field, two prostrate figures lie amid the collapsed rubble of the mine. The scene is rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail, and a small engraver's signature appears in the lower right of the field. |
