| Reverse description | A sailing vessel with full rigging and two flags navigates choppy waters to the right, with two sailors visible on board. At the right, a large allegorical male figure, identified as a river god or Neptune, reclines on rocks and pours water from a jar while holding what appears to be a cornucopia, symbolizing the prosperity of the Brussels canal. |
