| Obverse description | Central device depicts a lively carnival scene with multiple figures in high relief: a costumed woman leaning over a sign reading 'HOUMAS LIBRARY 1987', flanked by a jester figure at left, a small bearded man in a helmet below, and a horse's head at right. The composition evokes a Mardi Gras parade float theme referencing the Houmas Library as the krewe's 1987 honored institution. |
