Beschrijving voorzijde The field presents a globe prominently engraved with the outlines of CANADA and AMERICA, flanked by a standing grenadier at left bearing a spear and a sailor at right raising his hat, both gesturing toward a scroll inscribed PARITER IN BELLA; a defeated female figure, representing France, lies crushed beneath the globe. Above, a winged Fame in high relief sounds a trumpet of triumph, while the British Union flag is displayed behind the globe. The engraver's signature T. PINGO F. appears in the lower exergue.
