| Obverse description | A winged genius figure, holding a torch aloft in one hand and a palm branch in the other, rises in high relief before radiating sunbeams, with the date 1900 above. Below, a kneeling cloaked old man reaches upward toward the genius, while a scythe — attribute of the Grim Reaper — lies behind him, symbolising the passing of the old century. Floral sprigs and the maker's monogram M.&W. appear in the lower field. |
