| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a stylized pre-Columbian anthropomorphic figure in high relief, rendered after a Sinú culture gold ornament from El Museo del Oro. The figure features two prominent spherical mushroom forms surmounting the headdress, flanked by elaborate spiral and volute decorations, with a stylized face at center composed of filigree-like scrollwork. The lower body is rendered as a trapezoidal form resting on an oval base with incised geometric decoration. |
