| Obverse description | A highly detailed relief depiction of a hen rendered as a composite of culinary ingredients: the neck evokes a ray's wing, the body is formed by artichoke leaves and fish scales with a truffle-like texture, and the tail by a cabbage leaf. The bird fills the entire oval field against a plain polished background, with the lower register featuring a bold geometric diamond-cut pattern in high relief. |

| Reverse description | A large domed, polished egg yolk in high relief occupies the centre of the oval field. Surrounding it is a circular legend in incuse lettering. The border of the field is decorated with four symbolic elements representing the classical elements: swirling clouds (air) at the top, flames (fire) at the bottom, flowing water waves, and an elaborate leafy branch (earth) on the left, all rendered in fine engraved relief. |
