One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling an image (see "Inscriptions" field). A centered, crowned coat of arms is divided into four sections. The upper left and lower right sections feature three elongated lions, the upper right a rampant lion, and the lower left a harp. Framing the shield, two olive branches meet at a ribbon and floral emblems at the bottom.
