One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling a central image. A shield, divided into four sections, sits atop a large rose with wavy petals. The upper left and lower right sections feature three stylized fleur-de-lis lilies and the remaining sections three elongated and barely discernible lions. A border of Latin text in decorative characters circles the perimeter. The raised gold surface displays a warm metallic luster and fine texture.
