| Reverse description | The reverse features a central device of a tall palm tree rising from grass, its fronds spreading across the upper field. The trunk bisects two columns of raised relief text to either side, contrasting the departing reign of ignorance and force with the coming reign of knowledge and humanity, with the legend HUMANITY IS PROGRESS arching along the upper border within a dotted inner rim. |
