| Obverse description | An eagle with spread wings grasps a coiled serpent in its talons, the two creatures confronted at centre with a radiant diamond held between the eagle's beak and the serpent's open mouth, illustrating the Legend of the Valley of Diamonds. The design fills the field with no legend, within a plain raised rim. |
