One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling a central image (see "Inscriptions" field). In the center, a crowned coat of arms is divided into sections featuring stylized lions, a harp, and a horse. A large crown rests above the shield, which is framed by heavy, draped fabric tied with tassels. The inscription "ANNO 1831" curves along the bottom edge, separated by a small figure and enclosed by a beaded border.
