| Obverse description | Central floral motif composed of a symmetrical plant spray rising from a globular base, with curling foliate branches bearing berries or pellets extending laterally to either side. Surmounting the central stem, a plain Latin cross rises prominently from the apex of the plant. The entire design is set within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a broad outer border of large raised pellets forming a continuous beaded rim. No legend present; the field is unlettered. |
