| Reverse description | The reverse features a decorative shield divided into four quadrants by crossed bands, centered on an oval cartouche containing a beaver in relief. Each quadrant depicts symbols of industry and agriculture: upper left shows an artist's palette with brushes and a wheat sheaf; upper right a muscular arm wielding a hammer; lower left a scythe with grain sheaves; and lower right a cluster of grapes and fruit. The whole is framed by scrollwork ornament and an outer beaded border. |
