| Obverse description | Three children depicted in high relief kneeling on a flat surface around a shallow bowl: a girl at left licks a spoon, a boy at centre reaches into the bowl with two spoons, and a second girl at right looks on with her hand to her chest. The scene conveys charitable feeding during hardship, with no legend in the field. |

A small floral ornament decorates the top of the field and a smaller floral sprig appears at the bottom, with decorative scrollwork flanking the second line. |
