A vertically oriented engraving depicts a coat of arms beneath a draped canopy topped by a crown and spike. A banner reads "FORTITER ET CONSTANTER" above. In the center, two lions flank and support a shield divided into multiple heraldic sections while looking outward. Above the shield, three helmets support crests including an eagle on the left and a bird on the right. Closely spaced hatching lines create texture throughout the composition.
