| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a missionary standing upright in a rowing boat, one arm raised toward a radiant sky with rays of divine light breaking through clouds, addressing a group of indigenous figures on the shore beneath a palm tree. The scene is rendered in detailed relief, evoking a missionary preaching scene in a tropical setting. A biblical inscription appears in the exergue at the base of the design. |
