| Obverse description | Two conjoined circular medallions in relief at centre, bearing facing busts of Edmond de Rothschild (left, bearded, in three-quarter profile) and his son James de Rothschild (right, clean-shaven, in profile).

The artist's signature 'P. VINCZE' appears in Latin and Hebrew at the lower field. |
