One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling a crowned coat of arms divided into four sections. The upper left quadrant contains stylized lions, while the upper right displays three stylized fleur-de-lis lilies. A harp appears in the lower left, and the lower right features lions alongside a running horse. Resting above the ornate shield is a detailed crown, with numerals from a date flanking its cross.
