Obverse description The field features a striking graphic design commemorating 8 September 1943, with the date 1943 in a vertical cartouche at left and 1993 in a horizontal cartouche at top. A diagonal division separates a triangular text panel bearing the cascading inscription '8 SETTEMBRE' (each successive line losing its first letter) from a relief depiction of wheat ears and plant stalks rising from the ground. The lower portion of the field is filled with a stylised grid pattern evoking barbed wire or a fence, signed by the engraver U. PERNAZZA.
