| Obverse description | A standing male figure in high relief dominates the center of the field, holding a cogwheel in his left hand and a caduceus in his right, symbolizing industry and commerce. He stands atop a laden canoe surrounded by four seated rowers, with abundant tropical produce visible in the foreground and background. The engraver's signature E. WIJNANTS appears in the lower right field, and the circular legend runs along the milled border. |
