One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling a central image (see "Inscriptions" field). A crown sits atop a decorative shield divided into four sections. The upper left contains three lions, while three stylized fleur-de-lis lilies occupy the upper right. The lower sections feature a harp on the left and a horse on the right. The coin is finished with a raised, textured rim and a warm yellow color.
