| Reverse description | The goddess Ceres is depicted striding to the right, her figure draped, with arms extended to hold a lighted torch in each hand — attributes emblematic of her role as deity of grain and fertility. A plough appears in the field before her, referencing the agricultural foundation of the colonial settlement. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the colonial legend distributed around the outer field. The composition reflects the colonial authority's intent to invoke divine agricultural patronage for the new settlement. |
