| Obverse description | A robust male sower in antique dress strides across the field in high relief, casting seed with his right hand while carrying a cloth seed bag over his shoulder. In the middle ground to the left, a ploughman guides a plow drawn by two oxen, with a windmill visible in the far background. The engraver's signature J. LAGRANGE appears in the lower exergue, and the rim is bordered by a continuous beaded edge. |

At the base, an agricultural plow with a spoked wheel anchors the composition, flanked by a cornucopia. The circular legend reads COMICE AGRICOLE ET VITICOLE D'AUXERRE along the outer rim. |
