The date 1919 appears on a tablet beneath the globe. Two scroll-framed vignettes occupy the lower field: to the left, a farmer ploughing beneath a radiant rising sun, and to the right, a field gun with a soldier, symbolising the contrast between war and peace. The legends PEACE and VICTORY are inscribed across the centre of the field, with THE GREAT WAR along the lower rim. |
