| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic hunting scene in high relief, showing a wild boar at bay flanked by two hounds amid a forest undergrowth with foliage and flowers. The circular legend in two lines around the rim carries a verse alluding to the great forest, with the artist's initials T.S.S. and the date A.D. 1938 incorporated into the design. |
